Before planning your trip of a life time to Australia, ensure you have arranged your necessary visa, The correct visa is an essential part of your travel preparation. The most commonly applied for visa, the Tourist Visa (ETA), is suitable if you intend to stay for no longer than 3 months at any one time. You are allowed to enter multiple times over a 12 month period as long as you do not exceed the 3 months on anyone visit.

If you intend to work whilst visiting Australia then the ETA Tourist Visa is not the correct visa for you. The ETA Tourist Visa allows you to visit Australia for a holiday or even study, again as long as this does not exceed a 3 month period.
Before you book your flights it is strongly advised that you have received your visa confirmation.
