Visas
All travellers to Australia, other than Australian and New Zealand
citizens, are required to obtain a Visa to travel to Australia.
The Business Visa allows people
attending conferences and meetings in Australia to make a short visit
of up to three months.
Australia's Electronic Travel
Authority (ETA) is the world's most advanced and streamlined travel
authorisation system. If the country your passport represents has ETA
Business Access, it enables visitors to Australia to obtain authority
to enter at the same time as they book their travel arrangements. There
is no need for the traveller to complete an application form for a
Visa. In addition, a recent innovative enhancement to ETA arrangements
allows a traveller to apply for an ETA over the Internet.
