Hello, I'm Colombian but I am also a resident from the United States, I have a green card but I don't have an american passport because I'm not a citizen yet, can I still apply for the ETA visa? the embassy told me I could apply, but how are they going to know I'm an american resident if they don't ask for that information, just passport details. It would be awesome if you can help me

Hi @danielorozco5681 - what a great question! 1. I've looked on the Australian Government Home Affairs Page to see if South America/Colombia fall within the "ETA eligible passport holders list" - if South America comes under "United States of America" then you can apply, HOWEVER, I'm doubting that it does and I couldn't find any further information on the website to aid in answering your question. On the other hand, I'm guessing that if the embassy advised you to apply, then they know what they're talking about. 2. If that's not of much comfort, I found that iVisa have some information on their website that you might find very helpful "Australia Visitor Visa for Colombian citizens: Everything you need to know". Here's the link: www.ivisa.com/australia/blog/australia-visitor-visa-for-colombian-citizens#:~:text=In%20addition%20to%20being%20a,including%20health%20and%20character%20criteria. All the best @danielorozco5681 - I hope you get the visa that best suits your needs, and when you do, safe travels to Australia - and take care! 🙏🙂

Hi @mercedescarr6317 Apologies for the late reply, work and life have been busy. If you haven't received any guidance and help as of yet to answer your query, I would suggest using your smart phone. I only say this because the tutorials and pictures on the Department of Foreign Affairs illustrate applying for the Australia ETA via a mobile phone. Here's a link to their guidance notes that you might find very helpful: immi.homeaffairs.gov.au/supporting/files/australian-eta-app-industry-guidance.pdf Hope that helps - but all the best on your travels!

they announced that the borders will open up soon! so just a question, lets say they announce that the borders will open march 15 for example. Would we be able to apply for the ETA visa before the actual date of the borders opening in order to travel (once the borders are finally open)? or would we need to wait till the borders are actually open and THEN apply? thanks in advance

Hi @abrar ahmed , this is what it says on the Dept of Home Affairs (DHA) page in quotations and my thoughts are below that marked with an asterisk: "Australia has strict border measures in place to protect the health of the community. You can still apply for a visa to visit Australia, but you may not be able to enter Australia at this time." * This tells me I can apply for a visa now, BUT if it is approved I wont be able to enter Australia til the Border is open. "Check the latest information about travel restrictions​ and international safe travel zones." * If I am exempt from the travel restrictions and within the safe travel zones - I can apply to enter Australia if I meet the following criteria as per the DHA page which stipulates: "Fully vaccinated Australian citizens, permanent residents and eligible visa holders can travel to and from Australia without needing to apply for a travel exemption. Immediate family members of Australian citizens, permanent residents or New Zealand citizens usually resident in Australia who do not hold an eligible visa must provide proof of relationship before travel by submitting an exemption request through the Travel Exemption Portal. All other temporary visa holders seeking to travel to Australia must apply for a travel exemption." *The travel zones as per DHA includes "Japan, Singapore, NZ, South Korea" "Some travellers can apply for an ETA using the Australian ETA app. For more information, see our Step by step guide​". * As per the DHA website, the travellers who can apply using the ETA include those with a passport from the following: Brunei; Canada; Hong Kong (SAR of China); Japan; Malaysia; Singapore; South Korea; and the United States of America "You cannot apply for an ETA online, or through an agent or airline at this time." * Everyone else that does not meet the above criteria, wont be able to apply online, or through an agent or airline yet ... However, with the announcement that the Border's may be opening soon - maybe the 'Can't apply ... at this time' has passed? "If you are unable to use the app, you can apply online through ImmiAccount for another visa that suits your needs. European passport holders may be eligible for an eVisitor (subclass 651)." * Personally if I don't meet the above criteria - I would apply online through my ImmiAccount for the ETA. If the application wont let me progress - then I'll at least know the 'Can't apply ... at this time' still stands. However, I would try every day until I get through or look out for when I can apply for the ETA through the App as it sounds like a faster way to submit the Australian ETA visa application. I don't speak on behalf of the DHA, that's just what I would do personally. As always - you'll be better off contacting DHA directly to seek further clarification on your query. immi.homeaffairs.gov.au/visas/getting-a-visa/visa-listing/electronic-travel-authority-601? covid19.homeaffairs.gov.au/travel-restrictions covid19.homeaffairs.gov.au/international-safe-travel-zones immi.homeaffairs.gov.au/visas/getting-a-visa/visa-listing/electronic-travel-authority-601#HowTo @abrar ahmed, sorry for the long winded answer.

Hi @ivan chow - here's what it says on their website: After you apply: In most cases, you will be notified of the result of your ETA application immediately. Sometimes there will be a delay (of up to 12 hours) before receiving your notification. Check your emails, including your junk mail folder, for a written notification from us. Your application might take longer to process if: * you don't fill it in correctly * we need more information from you * it takes us time to verify your information immi.homeaffairs.gov.au/visas/getting-a-visa/visa-listing/electronic-travel-authority-601#HowTo From memory I recall reading somewhere that it says dont reapply as it can cause further delays. However, my memory could be wrong. Go ahead and check mum’s spam and junk mail for an email from them in case the email from them is in there OR use dad’s confirmation email to see if you can send can send in a follow-up email regarding mum’s application. Hopefully they're just going through the process of doing the checks and mum will hear back from them soon. Hope that helps, all the best and take care. 🙏😊

Hi Helen! I have a question in regards to eVisitor visa I’m hoping you can help me out with! So I’m planning to stay in Australia for three months, visiting my friends, sightseeing, etc. I have saved up enough through the years (since the border was closed for a while) and would love to visit New Zealand for a few days and come back for another three months. I understand that my eVisitor visa is valid for a year (it’s valid until Feb next year) and allows multiple visits that can’t be longer than 3 months, but is there any rules in regards to how long I have to leave the country? Would leaving Australia for a weekend long trip to New Zealand before coming back be fine? I can’t find any information on this anywhere. Thank you so much!

Hi @Anja Cota - I'm no visa expert at all - here's what I've found: *Electronic Travel Authority - Subclass 601* Visit Australia as often as you wish in a 12-month period. Stay up to 3 months each time you enter Australia. Visitor visas that have multiple entries also have a maximum period of stay for each visit you make to Australia. *How do I reset my stay period?* For example, your visa may be granted with 12 months validity and a 3 month stay period; this means that once you enter Australia you can stay up to 3 months. You will need to depart Australia before your 3 month stay period ends to prevent your visa ceasing. You can continue to arrive and depart in the same way any time prior to the validity of your visa ceasing. Check the stay period on your current visa using VEVO. For some visa types the stay period is standardised, for others, the stay period will be tailored to your circumstances. For more details, explore visa options. If you would like to stay longer than your current visa allows, you will need to apply for another visa. immi.homeaffairs.gov.au/visas/getting-a-visa/visa-listing/electronic-travel-authority-601#About @Anja Cota - I used the digital assistant at the bottom right of the page on the link above where it says: 'ask a question'. I would contact them directly to see whether flying to NZ and re-entering Australia from NZ counts as restarting your 3 month stay in Australia again. Sorry I couldn't be of more help @Anja Cota - all the best, you take care and safe travels. 🙏😊

So the ETA will grant me access into Australia correct? Without the need of any other type of visa? How does that work through immigrations? Do I show them the ETA on my phone? Or do I need to print out the "certificate"?

Hi @Bottom Spazz - this is what it says on the Home Affairs website: *WITH THIS VISA YOU CAN* Travel to Australia: - as a tourist - for example, to cruise or have a holiday - to visit family or friends - as a business visitor You can study or train for up to 3 months in total on this visa. If your main reason for travelling to Australia is to study, you should apply for a student visa. *HOW LONG YOU CAN STAY* This is a temporary visa. It is valid for travel to Australia for either 12 months, or for the period your passport is valid, whichever is shorter. The visa is granted with multiple entry. You can leave and re-enter Australia as many times as you want while it is valid. *You can remain in Australia for 3 months after each entry.* If you stay in Australia for long periods or make frequent visits to Australia, we may ask you about your travel purpose next time you enter Australia. If you are found not to be a genuine visitor, your ETA may be cancelled. If you want to stay longer than 3 months at a time, you need to apply for a different visa that suits your circumstances. The visa starts on the date it is granted unless you hold another substantive visa that is in effect. *PROCESSING TIMES* In most cases, you will be notified of the result of your ETA application immediately. Your application might take longer to process if: - you don't fill it in correctly - we need more information from you - it takes us time to verify your information - Processing time for this visa is not available. If you have a criminal conviction in any country, we will need more information from you. You should apply for a Visitor visa (subclass 600) and provide evidence about your criminal convictions. *VISA LABEL* We will digitally link your visa to your passport. You will not get a label in your passport.​​ Your ETA is attached to your current passport. If your current passport expires or you get a new passport: - your ETA will cease - you must apply for a new ETA immi.homeaffairs.gov.au/visas/getting-a-visa/visa-listing/electronic-travel-authority-601#About Hope that helps to answer your queries, all the best and take care. 🙏🙂

I'm 'assuming' that for the "evidence of planned activities" and I'm just going off what you can do with this visa eg: (a) *visit family or friends* - maybe letter from family/friends to verify that you're travelling to visit/spend time with them? (b) *cruise or have a holiday* - evidence of the cruise under your name/ or an invoice with pre-booked accomodation by yourself or a family/friend? (c) *undertake business visitor activities* - evidence that you're attending a conference for work, or itinerary of what the business activity is? (d) *study or train for up to 3 months, in some circumstances* - evidence of an invoice or letter from training organisation confirming that you're booked in and attending whatever training you're attending? immi.homeaffairs.gov.au/visas/getting-a-visa/visa-listing/evisitor-651 Hope that was of some help @Jan Hepworth - all the best and I'll try to get that tutorial up. 😊🙏

If she doesn't have a criminal conviction/record - she needs to include and explain that in her communications, whether that be over the phone or via email.

However see the link below to see if the information provided answers your query: immi.homeaffairs.gov.au/visas/getting-a-visa/visa-listing/electronic-travel-authority-601#HowTo 1. If you see under 'Step 2 - Apply for the Visa' you'll see it takes you through a step by step guide on how to apply for the ETA To apply for an ETA using the Australian ETA app, you need to have: - A mobile device camera enabled which can take your photo and an image of the Passport data page - Near-field communication (NFC) enabled on your mobile device - Location services enabled on your mobile device - A valid email address - A valid payment method ready to pay the service fee 2. You'll also notice that you are required to: scan your passport to pre-fill your name, date of birth, passport number and other details 3. If you don't have a chip - I would 'try' scanning my passport anyway knowing that it's going to fail to read anything in the hope that it will then ask me to fill in my details manually 4. If it doesn't allow you to fill in your details manually; THEN 5. It does suggest the following: *If you are ineligible or unable to apply for an ETA using the Australian ETA app, you can apply online for another visa that suits your needs through ImmiAccount.* - European passport holders may be eligible for an eVisitor (subclass 651) visa. There is no charge to make an eVisitor application. - Other passport holders may be eligible for a Visitor (subclass 600) visa. 6. Another option: You can get help from a friend or family member to apply through the app. *Authorised travel agents can also make an ETA application on your behalf using the app.* If an agent makes the application on your behalf, you must still be physically present when they make the application. You will need to have your photo taken and have your passport available for scanning. Hope that's of some help. You take care, all the best and I hope you're successful in getting your visa. 🙏🙂

Hi! @Rotterdam NL - short answer, hopefully from From 21 February 2022, all visa holders who are fully vaccinated for international travel purposes can travel to Australia without a travel exemption. Unvaccinated visa holders will still need to be in an exempt category or hold an individual travel exemption to enter Australia. The following passport holders can apply for an ETA using the Australian ETA app: Brunei, Canada, Hong Kong (SAR of China), Japan, Malaysia, Singapore, South Korea, Taiwan and the United States of America. For more information, see our Step by step guide. *The ETA app will be expanded to all ETA-eligible passport holders from April 2022.​* If you are unable to use the app, you can apply online through ImmiAccount for another visa that suits your needs. European passport holders may be eligible for an ​eVisitor (subclass 651).​​​ You cannot apply for an ETA online, or through an agent or airlin​e at this time, unless the application is lodged via the ETA app.​ ​immi.homeaffairs.gov.au/visas/getting-a-visa/visa-listing/electronic-travel-authority-601 Hope that helps @Rotterdam NL - all the best when you apply for the ETA in August! 😊🙏

Also when googling the ETA - I saw that there's a lot of dodgy websites out there offering to help you get your visa - be very wary that you don't get scammed, always go to the official Australian Govt websites and the ones you know and trust. Here's what it says on the ETA website: VISA OUTCOME: After you have lodged your ETA application we will *send you a written advice by email.* The written advice might: - notify you that your ETA has been granted. We will also tell you your visa grant number, the date your visa starts and your visa conditions. - advise you that your application cannot be processed or approved without further information - If your application cannot be processed or approved without further information: - you can apply for another visa that is suitable for your travel needs: explore your visa options - you can contact an Australian Visa Office and provide information so we can consider whether you are eligible for an ETA. Your notification letter will tell you how you can contact an office. - do not submit further ETA applications. You will see the same results. - If we refuse your ETA we will let you know by email. We will tell you why we refused and whether you have a right to a review of the decision. The service charge will not be refunded if your application is not successful. ALSO FYI - I don't how relevant this is to you: *The ETA app will be expanded to all ETA-eligible passport holders from April 2022.​* immi.homeaffairs.gov.au/visas/getting-a-visa/visa-listing/electronic-travel-authority-601#HowTo @AgesWith0ut - I'm sorry I couldn't be of more help.

I applied my 601 visa via ETA Mobile App, after that I received an email asking for more information and I have provided the information. However my application is no where visible in the immi account or the ETA mobile app. I have no way to check my visa application progress. I wonder if it is lost. I have contacted support but they did not answer. Do you have any advise for me?

Hi @Jy y 1. Are you able to check your application progress online as well instead of through the app? (a) does that make a difference? 2. Have you tried to contact them and send in your query via the email they emailed you on asking for more information? I'm sorry I can't help you - all I know is that with all the travel restrictions easing - there would be a lot more visa applications being processed, hence the delays. I'm sure your application is being processed especially now that you've provided the extra information that was requested - however, I'd say maybe expect a slight delay due to the increase of applications - hang in there, hopefully it's approved soon! All the best @Jy y - take care and all the best! 😊🙏

Hi @Please Punia Please Punia - here's what it says on the Home Affairs page: *What you can do on an ETA* You can travel to Australia: - to visit family or friends - as a tourist - for example, to cruise or have a holiday - as a business visitor "You can study or train for up to 3 months in total on an ETA.

Hi @annis e - here's what the Subclass 601 Electronic Travel Authority web page says: *After you apply* In most cases, you will be notified of the result of your ETA application immediately. Sometimes there will be a delay (of up to 12 hours) before receiving your notification. Check your emails, including your junk mail folder, for a written notification from us. *Your application might take longer to process if:* - you don't fill it in correctly - we need more information from you - it takes us time to verify your information If you have a criminal conviction in any country, we will need more information from you. You should apply for a Visitor (subclass 600) visa and provide evidence about your criminal convictions. immi.homeaffairs.gov.au/visas/getting-a-visa/visa-listing/electronic-travel-authority-601#HowTo @annis e - if you've recently submitted your visa-601, then hopefully you'll receive a notification in your email shortly, don't forget to check your spam email as well.

Hello! @Citimore Preethi 1. The Australian Govt says: "All ETA-eligible passport holders MUST apply for an ETA using the *Australian ETA app*." Eligible passport holders include the following: Andorra Austria Belgium Brunei Canada Denmark Finland France Germany Greece Hong Kong (SAR of China) Iceland Ireland Italy Japan Liechtenstein Luxembourg Malaysia Malta Monaco Norway Portugal Republic of San Marino Singapore South Korea Spain Sweden Switzerland Taiwan (excluding official or diplomatic passports) The Netherlands United Kingdom-British Citizen United Kingdom-British National (Overseas) United States of America Vatican City immi.homeaffairs.gov.au/visas/getting-a-visa/visa-listing/electronic-travel-authority-601#Eligibility 2. Unfortunately, it looks like there is no option for an online application other than through the Australian ETA App - as stated: "If you are UNABLE to use the app, you can apply online through ImmiAccount for ANOTHER visa that suits your needs." 3. IF your friend is applying for the ETA via the APP he will need to be physically present to upload his selfie. Hope that helps @Citimore Preethi - all the best and I hope you both get your ETA's! 🙂🙏
