Australian ETA

The Australia Electronic Travel Authority (ETA) is temporarily only available via an APP on your mobile device, introduced by the Government of Australia. The APP can be found in Apple APP store, ANDROID, or where you normally find APPS for your device. VisaConnection will resume issuing of Australia ETAs as soon as we are able.

An ETA is an electronic authorisation from the government to enter Australia. To be eligible you must hold a passport from one of the eligible countries. See all countries

Travelers cannot process and receive a new ETA for Australia until a previously held ETA has expired.
