Before you go
Entry requirements
For U.S. passport holders on a vacation. Other passport? Your advisor will check for you.
Australia
ETA required (Electronic Travel Authority)- Check your passport. Valid for your whole stay.
- Apply online before you fly. AUD 20 service fee (no visa charge). Often quick, but apply well ahead. Apply before you book flights if you can; do not travel until it is granted. Official ETA info (homeaffairs.gov.au) ›
- Know your stay. Up to 3 months per visit, multiple visits over 12 months.
- Apply ONLY in the official Australian ETA app. Websites that offer ETAs are scams, and anyone charging more than AUD 20 is not official.
Use only the official site linked above. Lookalike sites charge extra and are not faster.

Entry rules change, sometimes with little notice. Always confirm before you travel. This is general guidance, not legal advice.
