A little clarity before you start
A simple- looking option. Details still matter.
Living in Europe does not establish eVisitor eligibility. You must be a citizen holding a passport from an eligible country and meet the other requirements.
We help you check the fit, explain relevant history and prepare the application work agreed with you.

A little more clarity
Your questions, made clearer.
A few answers to help you plan. We can look at the details of your situation together.
Is eVisitor the same as an ETA?
They are separate visas with different passport eligibility and application methods. An eVisitor uses ImmiAccount; an ETA uses the Australian ETA app.
Can I work or study on an eVisitor?
Ordinary work is not permitted. Limited business visitor activities and study or training of up to three months may be allowed. Check that your activity fits.
Can I apply while already in Australia?
No. An eVisitor requires you to be outside Australia at application and grant. If you are already here, your current visa and other options need review.
Can we make one application for the whole family?
Each family member, including children, needs their own application. Check eligibility and travel details separately for every traveller.
What will it cost and how long will it take?
Our fees depend on the work agreed with you. Government charges and processing vary. Check current government charges and the processing-time guide. A guide is not a promised decision date.
