If you are planning a holiday visit or a short business trip to
Australia, you will need to apply for either a visa or an ETA (Electronic Travel Authority).
An ETA will let you spend up to three months in Australia.
From this site you can:
- Apply for an ETA
- Check the validity of an existing ETA issued through this site
Important:
changes to ETA application processing from April 2008
From 21 April 2008, the Australian Department of Immigration and Citizenship
is implementing changes to the ETA system. The department will continue to
process most ETA applications instantly; however, in a small number of cases,
some additional processing will be required. If your ETA cannot be issued
immediately please check back in 12 hours to confirm whether your application
has been successful. Please apply for your ETA as early as possible prior
to travel to allow sufficient time for your application to be processed.
The system used for issuing an ETA via this site interfaces to and checks data
with other Australian Government systems. In the event that you provide an incorrect
answer to any question asked on this site (either knowingly or unknowingly), then
any ETA issued may be subject to cancellation.
This site is operated by CPS Systems Pty Ltd on behalf of the Australian
Department of Immigration and Citizenship. Any transactions
(including the service fee) entered into through the site are with
