The Electronic Travel Authority (ETA) Subclass 601 is a digitally linked visa that connects directly to your passport, offering a convenient option for short-term travel to Australia for tourism or business purposes.
Eligible passport holders can use the ETA to make multiple visits to Australia, with each stay lasting up to three months, during a validity period of one year.
The Electronic Travel Authority (ETA) is intended for two main types of short-term visits:
Ideal for those traveling to Australia for holidays, leisure, or to visit family and friends.
Allows travel for certain business-related purposes, including:
Attending conferences, trade shows, or seminars (without receiving payment from organizers).
Making general business or job-related inquiries.
Reviewing, negotiating, or signing business contracts.
Participating in official government-to-government visits.
You are not permitted to work for or offer services to an Australian business or individual, or to sell goods or services directly to the public while on an ETA. If studying is your primary purpose, a student visa is more suitable.
The ETA is valid for 12 months from the date of grant (or until your passport expires, whichever is earlier), allowing multiple entries, with each stay limited to up to three months.
Australia offers a variety of Visitor visas tailored for different purposes, including tourism, business, family
To be eligible for an ETA, you must hold a passport from one of the following countries:
Note: For Taiwan passport holders, special conditions apply. You cannot have official or diplomatic passports.
You must meet Australia’s character requirements generally, this means having no criminal convictions or your ETA may be refused or entry denied.
It is highly recommended to obtain private health insurance for the entire duration of your stay in Australia. ETA holders are not eligible for Australia’s public healthcare system (Medicare) unless they are from a country with a Reciprocal Health Care Agreement (RHCA).
Countries with RHCAs include:
Belgium, Finland, Italy, Malta, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, the Republic of Ireland, Slovenia, Sweden, and the United Kingdom.
Even with an RHCA, coverage is typically limited to urgent or essential care and may not cover all medical costs.
