It seems that everyone wants to holiday in Australia, with its vast and varied landscapes, not only is it is a highly desirable destination it is also a fiercely protected one. Visas and Australia go hand-in-hand. The government of Australia seems to require visas for travel there, whatever your circumstances. The large amount of tedious paperwork that comes as part of the application process for even the most basic of visas, is enough to put a lot of people off. We aim to provide you with enough information about visas for your visit to Australia that you will feel confident with the whole system. Electronic Travel Authority (ETA) Tourist visas, working holiday visas and extended stay visas will all be covered to varying degrees of detail.
For a basic trip to Australia for up to three months in duration, you will probably need to apply for one of the ETA Tourist visas. The powers-that-be in Australia have decided to make these visas electronic rather than simply having them as stamps in passports as is more conventional for visas of this kind. This makes such visas less susceptible to forgery and further protects Australia from illegal immigration - a problem that has been foremost on the political landscape for a long time there. To have any chance of qualifying for one of these visas you must be a citizen of one of the thirty-four approved countries.
If you are aged between eighteen and thirty, and want to stay in Australia for a period of up to one year then the working holiday visas scheme may be the ideal solution for you. This is unique among visas in allowing holders to gain temporary employment in Australia as a way of funding their travel throughout the country. Forms of employment typically take the form of bar work or food service. Successful applicants will either hold a return ticket or be able to prove that they have sufficient funds to purchase one and to fund the first portion of their stay (i.e. the period before they are able to gain employment).
An alternative way of extending your stay in Australia is by applying for one of the Extended/Long Stay visas. Qualification requirements for such visas are far less stringent than for the Working Holiday visas
