Going to Australia
Travelers are reminded that it is your responsibility to ensure you meet the requirements of the airline you are traveling with and any countries you transit through.
Here’s what you need to visit Australia:
Valid visa to enter Australia (Electronic Travel Authority – also known as ETA)
Travel Agents can no longer process this on your behalf. USA Passport holders without criminal history can apply on their smartphones. Download the Australia ETA app: Google Play | Apple App Store
Avoid the following common errorsthat will hold up your application.
Name Mis-spelling – Double check your work!
Entering dates in the USA format instead of DAY – MONTH- YEAR
Mixing up the SURNAME and FIRST NAME Fields
ETAs can ONLY be processed through the official Australian ETA App on your smart phone.
Do not search for Australian ETA on your computer.
Using the WRONG app – 3rd Party Apps can NOT Process ETAs, they may be able to get Visa’s but it is not the quick ETA Visa. This will slow down your processing time.
If you are unable to complete the ETA application can apply for a standard Tourist Visa – subclass 600 – via a web form. Processing time is currently about 3 weeks.
Questions? Call the Global Service Center BEFORE submitting your application to ensure quick processing times.
