Going to Australia

Travelers are reminded that it is your responsibility to ensure you meet the requirements of the airline you are traveling with and any countries you transit through.

Here’s what you need to visit Australia:

Valid visa to enter Australia (Electronic Travel Authority – also known as ETA)
- Travel Agents can no longer process this on your behalf. USA Passport holders without criminal history can apply on their smartphones. Download the Australia ETA app: Google Play | Apple App Store
- Click here to find the right Visa for you.

Stay up to date on Australia Travel Requirements, click here. To view a list of Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ), click here.

Applying for your Visa

Tips for filling out your Australia ETA (Visa) application:

ETA are instantly approved unless any application errors or eligibility issue.
- Most common eligibility issues seen involve criminal convictions.
  Please see our tips for USA passport holders with criminal history (https://www.aboutaustralia.com/travel-tips/travel-visa-australia/)
- Avoid the following common errors that will hold up your application.
  - Name Mis-spelling – Double check your work!
  - Entering dates in the USA format instead of DAY – MONTH- YEAR
  - Mixing up the SURNAME and FIRST NAME Fields
ETAs can ONLY be processed through the official Australian ETA App on your smart phone.
- Do not search for Australian ETA on your computer.
- Using the WRONG app – 3rd Party Apps can NOT Process ETAs, they may be able to get Visa’s but it is not the quick ETA Visa. This will slow down your processing time.
- Click here for Australia ETA App on Google Play Store
- Click here for Australia ETA App on Apple App Store
- Look for this icon:

Australian ETA

If you are unable to complete the ETA application can apply for a standard Tourist Visa – subclass 600 – via a web form. Processing time is currently about 3 weeks.
Questions? Call the Global Service Center BEFORE submitting your application to ensure quick processing times.

fabulous job

I wasn't totally convinced that this would work out. But, it did. Darin Hendry did a fabulous job of making our trip perfect. I was worried- I didn't have to- he's a 5 star pro. We loved it all.

Ana Musgray hit the nail on the head!

Fabulous trip to Australia and New Zealand. We asked for photography opportunities-- landscape and wildlife and that's just what we got at a reasonable price. Ana was with us every step of the way to include during the trip, when a hotel owner thought we had unintentionally left things in a room. Amazing service-- friendly, efficient and spot on. Thank you to Ana and to the owner, Paul, too, for their minding reading abilities. :-)

We loved Australia!

Thank you so much Koda for all the recommendations and the itinerary tips! The stay in Melbourne was centered right in the middle - loved the people, lots to eat, lots to do and see.
