An Overview of Electronic Travel Authority (ETA) Visa
This special travel permit allows eligible passport holders to visit Australia for leisure or short-term business visitor purposes. It is an electronically stored authority linked directly to your passport. You can travel for stays like seeing family or attending conferences after approval. It offers multiple entries during its active validity period, making your plans highly flexible. Each stay can last up to 90 days. It is the best option if you hold a passport from one of the eligible countries approved by the Australian government.
