What is the Electronic Travel Authority (ETA)?

Australia's Electronic Travel Authority system (ETA) is the most advanced and streamlined travel authorisation system in the world. It is the modern-day replacement for a visa label or a stamp in a passport.

ETA enables visitors from passport-approved countries to obtain authority to enter Australia at the same time as, or before they book their travel arrangements. There is no need for the traveller to complete an application form for a visa.

Applying for your Australian Visa online via this website saves you weeks of waiting and possibly hundreds of dollars per application.
