Australia eVisa vs ETA: Which Do You Need? (2026)

Australia offers two electronic travel authorisations: the eVisitor (subclass 651) and the Electronic Travel Authority (eTA, subclass 601). Both allow multiple entries over 12 months with stays up to 90 days, but they are available to different nationalities and processed through different channels. Understanding which one applies to you is essential before you apply.

常见问题

Can I apply for both an eVisitor and an ETA?+
You can only hold one current Australian visa at a time. Apply for the visa type that matches your passport nationality. If you are eligible for the eVisitor, that is the standard online application. If not, check if you qualify for the ETA.
What if I am not eligible for either?+
If you hold a passport from a country not listed for the eVisitor or ETA, you will need to apply for a Visitor visa (subclass 600) through the standard Australian visa application process, which typically takes longer and may require biometrics.
