Australia

The Australian Electronic Travel Authority (eTA) is a type of visa that allows visitors to travel to Australia for tourism or business purposes. It is an electronically stored authorization that grants entry into Australia and is linked to a traveler's passport. The eTA is available to citizens of eligible countries who wish to visit Australia for up to 3 months at a time.

Types of Australian Electronic Travel Authority (eTA):

There are two types of eTA available for travelers to Australia - the tourist eTA and the business eTA. The tourist eTA is intended for those who wish to travel to Australia for tourism or recreational purposes, while the business eTA is intended for those who wish to visit Australia for business reasons such as attending conferences or meetings.

  • Visitor eTA: This is the most common type of eTA, and is intended for tourists and people visiting Australia for short periods of time. It allows multiple entries into Australia within a 12-month period, with each visit being limited to a maximum of three months.
  • Business eTA: This type of eTA is intended for people travelling to Australia for business purposes, such as attending conferences or meetings. It also allows multiple entries into Australia within a 12-month period, with each visit being limited to a maximum of three months.

It's important to note that an eTA does not guarantee entry into Australia, and a border officer may still refuse entry if they believe the person does not meet the entry requirements.
