Wjazd i wizy

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.
