All visitors, apart from New Zealand citizens, must obtain a Visa before travelling to Australia.
Australia's Electronic Travel Authority (ETA) is an electronically-stored authority for travel to Australia for a short-term tourist or business entry. ETAs are issued within seconds of being requested through computer links between the Australian Immigration Department, travel agents, airlines and specialist service providers around the world. Over 30 countries have access to the ETA system. A recent innovative enhancement allows a traveller to apply for an ETA over the Internet. Conference delegates from non- ETA countries will need to obtain a business (short-stay) visa, even if some tourism activities are planned for part of the stay in Australia. It is called a 456 visa, if it is issued as a label into a passport.
Please refer to the BUSINESS VISITOR VISA INFORMATION (General Guide Only) as at 9 July 2009 issued by the Department of Immigration and Citizenship.
We strongly recommend you check the latest information on Department of Immigration and Citizenship.
