Visa and Passports

Unless you are an Australian citizen, you will need a valid Australian visa to enter the country. New Zealand passport holders can apply for a visa upon arrival in the country. All other passport holders, regardless of age, must apply for a visa before leaving home.

  1. All non-Australian passport holders need the right visa before travelling to Australia. Use the Visa Finder to explore your options.

  2. Ensure all details are correct and provide all required documents when you apply. An incomplete or incorrect application can delay your visa.

  3. Submitting multiple applications at the same time can slow the process. For visitor visas, submit one application per person, including children. 

  4. Questions? The Australian Government's Global Service Centre can help.

 

Health & Safety

The Australian Government does not currently have any COVID-19 requirements in place for travellers entering and departing Australia.

COVID-19 however continues to pose a health risk in Australia and overseas. We strongly encourage wearing masks and being vaccinated while travelling internationally. You should practice good cough and hand hygiene, and physically distance from others where possible. (Source)

For your safety, it is a good idea to follow these General Behavior Guidelines:

  • Wear a mask in public transports, taxis, and similar passenger transports

  • Social distancing

  • Frequent hand washing

  • Respiratory etiquette
