कोकोस (कीलिंग) द्वीपसमूह: यात्रा से पहले क्या जानें

सबसे ज़रूरी

  • From mainland Australia, photo ID is required for every passenger, including children. Carry a passport in case of an overseas diversion.
  • International arrivals follow Australian immigration rules; confirm the appropriate visa before departure.
  • Bring AUD cash: official pages disagree about ATM availability. Do not rely on cash withdrawal after arrival.

प्रवेश और वीज़ा

Mainland-Australia arrivals do not need a separate Cocos passport or visa, but every traveller needs photo ID. Arriving from outside Australia follows normal Australian immigration rules, including a valid passport and the appropriate Australian visa where required. Keep accommodation confirmed and check your route’s clearance arrangements.
