I just want to go on holiday/visit family and friends

The Australian ETA Tourist Visa is for you. The ETA Tourist Visa is valid for one year from the date of issue, allowing you to stay up for three months on each visit within that year, which is perfect if you’re planning more than one holiday in the same year!

I want to go travelling and tour Australia

For a stay in Australia more than three months, you need an Australian Long Stay Tourist Visa. Visas4oz offer both a 6 month and 12 month Tourist Visa and depending on the amount of time you wish to stay in Oz, either of these visas will do the job.

The 6 Month Australian Tourist Visa allows a stay in Oz up to 6 months per visit, whereas the 12 Month Australian Tourist Visa allows a stay of up to 12 months per visit; both visas allow you to enter Australia a multiple number of times for 12 months from the date of issue.
