Australian ETA

Due to entry restrictions caused by COVID-19, Electronic Travel Authorizations (ETAs) to Australia have been temporarily suspended. Please return to our website frequently for updates. We will offer ETAs for Australia 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.
