Learn if you qualify for the Electronic Travel Authority (ETA) for business visits to Australia and how to secure your digital visa.
The Electronic Travel Authority (ETA) is a digital visa designed to facilitate travel for specific visitors. It links directly to your passport to allow for streamlined entry.
Who it's for
This scheme is intended for business visitors coming from eligible countries.
What you get
You receive a digital visa that is electronically linked to your passport. This means you do not need to carry a physical sticker or paper document to prove your status when you travel.
What it costs you

The catch to know
This authorization is strictly for short-term business visitor activities. It does not grant you the right to engage in actual work or employment while you are in the country.
How to apply
- Ensure your passport is valid and from an eligible country.
- Prepare to pay the required service fee.
- Complete the application through the official government portal.
- Check your digital status before you travel.
