Answers
What is an ETA?
An ETA or Electronic Travel Authority and is a 'paperless' authority for travel to Australia. It replaces the visa label or stamp in your passport. An ETA removes the need for application forms and enables passengers to be processed more quickly on arrival in Australia.


Who is eligible for this Australia Visitor Visa?
The following qualifying nationals can apply: {session_country_list}


What if I'm not a Qualifying National?
You will need to apply for your Australia ETA Visa at your nearest Australian Embassy or Consulate.


How much do you charge for an Australia Holiday ETA/E-Visitor Permit?
The processing fees for 3-Month Tourist Visas for Oz (including all embassy fees) are: €45/£30/CA$65/US$60


How long is my Australia Tourist ETA Visa valid for?
Your Visitor ETA Visa is a short-term visa which will only allow you to stay in Australia for a maximum duration of three months, but it is valid for one year from your date of application, or until your passport expiry date - whichever is sooner.


How long is the eVisitor Visa valid for?
On an E-Visitor Permit you can stay in Australia for up to three months on each visit within a 12 month period from the date of issue.


What are the conditions of the Oz Tourist Visa?
This Australia Visa is only valid for tourism or visiting friends/relatives in Australia. It does not entitle you to work in Australia.


What method of payment do you accept?
When you apply for an Oz Holiday ETA Visa or E-Visitor Visa you can either pay by Visa, Mastercard, cheque or cash by phone, fax or by post.


Do I need to send my passport?
No, please DO NOT send your passport! Completing your ETA application accurately and making the correct payment is all that's required. Visa First cannot be responsible for the loss of your passport if you send it.


How long will it take for my application to be approved?
Provided you qualify, your ETA visitor application will be approved usually within moments from the time we process your application. Most applications are processed within 24 hours of receiving your data during business hours from Monday to Saturday. Applications received after office hours or on Sundays are processed the next working day.

E-Visitor Visas cannot be processed automatically so the processing time is usually 2-10 working days.


How will I know when my application has been approved?
As soon as your application has been approved we will email you. Provided you are flying on an 'approved' airline, your visa details will automatically be logged into the airline's computer prior to boarding. Your 'paperless' tourist ETA visa will automatically allow you entry into Australia upon arrival.


What happens if my application is declined?
All ETA Visa and E-Visitor Visa applications are subject to the approval of the Australian Immigration Authorities, and this approval is based on accurate information provided by the applicant. In the unlikely event your application is rejected, regretfully Visa First cannot refund your application fee. It is therefore advisable that you do not finalise your airline booking or travel arrangements to Australia until your Oz Visa is approved.

I am visitor here from Malaysia, I would like to visit New Zealand fly from Melbourne for 1 week vacation, should I need to apply New Zealand visa again? Can I apply from Melbourne? When I come back from New Zealand to Melbourne, can u get another 3 months visitor visa stay in Melbourne?
As you hold a Malaysian passport you won’t need a visa to stay in New Zealand for up to 90 days. However you will need to have a valid visa to travel to Australia. There will be no problem for us to organize you such 3-month visitor visa. We’ll only need to confirm your passport details in order to process the visa.
