eVisitor
Service Description
An eVisitor is an electronically stored authority for travel to Australia.
An eVisitor is designed for people who are outside Australia and want to visit Australia for tourism or business purposes. Tourism includes holidays, recreation and seeing family and/or friends. Business purposes may include attending a conference, negotiation or exploratory business visit.
You can apply for an eVisitor online and do not need to visit a departmental office. You will not receive a stamp or label in your passport, however you will be provided with a confirmation email for your records.
Your eVisitor is linked to the passport number you use in your application and you must use the same passport to travel to Australia.
