Australia eVisitor requirements

Check that the eVisitor (subclass 651) fits your passport and travel plans before starting an application.

Apply from outside Australia

An eligible passport

You must hold a valid passport from an eligible country or territory. Eligibility is determined by your passport, not simply where you live. Check the full eligibility page for the passport list and exclusions.

Use the passport you intend to travel with and enter its details accurately. Each traveler, including each child, needs their own application.

A temporary visit

The eVisitor is for tourism, visiting family or friends, and limited business visitor activities. Study or training is permitted for up to 3 months in certain circumstances.

It does not allow you to work for an Australian organisation or sell goods or services directly to the public. You must intend to stay temporarily and follow your visa conditions.

Health, character and funds

You must meet health and character requirements and have enough money to support yourself during your visit and to leave Australia. Any debts to the Australian Government must be paid or have a repayment arrangement.

Additional information or supporting documents may be requested. A visa for a child under 18 must also be consistent with the best interests of the child.

Before you submit

You must be outside Australia when you apply and when the visa is granted. Australian citizens cannot apply for an eVisitor.

Have your passport, contact details and travel information ready. Answer every question truthfully and check names, dates and passport numbers before submitting.
