Australia, like most countries, requires foreign nationals to obtain a visa to enter its territory. This rule applies to almost all travelers, except for citizens of New Zealand, who can visit Australia without a visa.

Registration of an Australian visa is necessary for tourists, businessmen, students, workers and other categories of foreign citizens. The choice of a particular type of visa depends on the purpose of the trip. For example, a tourist visa is suitable for short-term visits for vacation or visiting relatives, while a work or student visa is required for longer stays for employment or study, respectively.

To simplify the entry document process, Australia has introduced an e-visa system. An e-Visa is an authorization to enter the country that is issued electronically without the need for a visa sticker in the passport.

Depending on citizenship, foreign nationals can obtain an ETA and eVisitor - an electronic visa:

• eVisitor can be issued to citizens of European countries, including European Union's members.
• electronic ETA visa is available for citizens of the USA, Canada and a number of European and Asian countries.

The electronic visa is intended for tourist and business travel to Australia with the possibility of staying in the country for up to 3 months at a time within a year.

The main advantages of electronic visas to Australia:

• Ease of processing. The whole process takes place online, without the need to visit a visa center or embassy.
• Quickness of receipt. The application for an e-visa is processed in a shorter period of time compared to traditional visas.
• Cost-effectiveness. The cost of processing an e-visa is usually lower than a traditional visa.
• Convenience. The e-visa is stored in a database that the border guard has access to.

In addition to the electronic visa, tourists and business travelers can apply for a visitor visa (600) through the Australian consulate. It allows you to visit the country for up to 3, 6 or 12 months. Consular visa can be applied for by citizens who are not able to apply for an e-visa, as well as all other travelers in case they do not have the technical ability to apply online.

For airport transit stays of up to 8 hours, citizens of countries eligible for the e-entry permit procedure do not require a visa. This is possible provided that they have a valid ticket for the onward journey and are exclusively in the transit area of the airport.

Other citizens planning to spend more than 8 hours in the country or not eligible for visa-free transit are required to obtain a transit visa in advance.

Foreign nationals who are not eligible for an e-visa must obtain a consular tourist or business visa to travel to this country.

If you plan to stay in Australia for an extended period of time - for residence, work, study or any other purpose, regardless of nationality, you will need to obtain the appropriate type of visa.

The total cost of processing a visa to Australia is based on several key factors such as visa category, your nationality, number of applicants, consular and visa fees, and additional services such as priority processing or travel insurance.
