An ETA is an electronically stored authority for travel to Australia which replaces the traditional visa label / stamp in a passport. It can be viewed and checked by all airline and cruise operators around the world through an electronic travel reservation system. When you arrive to check in, the airlines and cruise operators can check your visa by accessing the Government's electronic visa database. Fastozvisa.com has authorised access to the Australian Government's electronic visa system and can arrange an electronic holiday or business visa for you. We will send you a comprehensive email that confirms that your visa has been issued and all other relevant details (dates of validity, conditions etc). Remember that the holder of an ETA does not have a visa label placed in their passport. When you arrive to check in, the airlines and cruise operators can check your visa by accessing the electronic visa system and confirming the visa through your passport number. ETA Visas and Eligibility All visitors to Australian except for Australian and New Zealand citizens require a visa to enter Australia. This includes children listed in the passports of their parents who must have an individual visa issued, using the passport details of the parent. ETAs replace shortñterm tourist or business entry visas. (All other visas, including working holiday and work visas, must be issued in the traditional way through your nearest Australian Diplomatic Mission). They are available to people holding valid passports from the following countries: Andorra, Austria, Belgium, Brunei, Canada, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hong Kong, Ireland, Iceland, Italy, Japan, Liechtenstein, Luxemburg, Malaysia, Malta, Monaco, Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, Switzerland, Singapore, Spain, South Korea, United Kingdom, USA and The Vatican. If you are not the citizen of one of these countries, we can not issue you an ETA. You will have to apply at your nearest Australian Diplomatic Mission. The tourist ETA visa... The Tourist ETA Visa is valid for 12 months from date of issue for multiple entries of up to three months per entry. You are not permitted to work in Australia with this visa. If you intend to stay for longer than 3 months (even just 1 day), then you should apply for a longstay visa at your nearest Australian Diplomatic Mission, or extend your visa at a Department of Immigration office in Australia. We can arrange a tourist ETA within 24 hours for A$16 (Gbp 9.50, Can$15, Sgp$20,US$14.50). The Business ETA Visa... ETA Business Visas are designed for business people visiting Australia for conferences, visiting subsidiaries, investigating markets or conducting business. They do not permit the holder to work and can not be extended. (For a work visa, or if you wish to stay longer than 3 months on any one stay, you must contact the nearest Australian Diplomatic Mission.) There are two kinds of ETA Business Visa. The first is valid from the date of issue for the life of the passport. It allows multiple entries into Australia for stays up to 3 months. The Australian Government charges a A$75 fee for this visa (in addition to our fee) which is charged to your credit card when we process your visa application. The other business visa is valid for one year, allows multiple entry with a maximum 3 month stay. The Australian Government charges no fee for this. We can arrange either business visa within 24 hours for A$16 (US$14.50 Gbp 9.50, Can$15, Sgp$20). The MAL Checking System When passport details are entered into the booking system, they are checked against the Australian Government Migrant Alert List (MAL). We can not arrange a visa for a person whose name appears on the MAL system. Occasionally people with very similar names to those listed on MAL are also caught by this system. In these circumstances we will charge no fee and advise you within 24 hours that you will need to approach the nearest Australian Embassy to arrange your visa. Email us if you have any query. |
