אוסטרליה: מה לדעת לפני הנסיעה

העיקר

  • Get the correct visa before travel: ETA, eVisitor and Visitor visas have different eligibility rules. They are linked to your passport.
  • Digital ATD remains a pilot for eligible invited passengers; otherwise complete the Incoming Passenger Card.
  • Nicotine pouches cannot be brought in by travellers. Vaping imports have a narrow therapeutic traveller exemption; check ABF before packing.

Eligible US passport holders can apply for ETA (601); eligible UK British-citizen and EU/EEA/Swiss passport holders can use eVisitor (651). Both normally allow up to 3 calendar months per visit within 12 months. Other ordinary passport holders generally need a Visitor visa; confirm through Home Affairs before booking.
