An eVisitor tourist visa is a temporary visa that is valid for 12 months from the date of issue, and it is a multiple entry visa. For each entry, you can stay up to 3 months.<\/p>\n<p>You can enter and leave as many times as you want as long as it is valid. However, the eVisitor cannot be extended: you must get another Australian tourist visa if you want to extend your holiday or stay longer for other reasons.<br \/>\n<strong>UK passport holders who are planning trips shorter than 90 days are almost always immediately eligible for electronic tourist visas<\/strong>, which will be electronically matched to the traveler\u2019s passport in the Australian immigration official databases.<\/p>\n<p><strong>More info on Online Tourist Visas for Australia (eVisitor) \u2013 updated for 2024:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Both passport holders and travel agents can apply for eVisitor visas.<\/li>\n<li>Overstaying a short stay tourist visa in Australia could lead to exclusion, detention and removal.

You can enter and leave as often as you want as long as the Tourist Stream is valid, but you may not stay more than 12 months during 18 months. <strong>This visa is also typically more expensive than an eVisitor and takes longer to process<\/strong>. Also, immigration office can request more documents from the applicant, for example a scanned copy of passport ID page or bank statement.

This is why if your passport is due to expire soon or during the time you will be travelling, you may need to get a new passport before applying. Australian tourist visa photo requirements are similar to passport photos. Please ensure your photos are accurate and current.<\/p>\n<h3>Documents Required to UK Citizens for an Australian Tourist Visa<\/h3>\n<p>The document checklist can vary based on the type of visa requested: <strong>with an eVisitor, you will only need your passport, and the eVisitor permit will be electronically attached to your passport.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>For other visa types, you may be asked for other identification, including the biographical pages of your passport, travel documents and the IDs of your fellow travelers. Other required documents may be requested if authorities are not satisfied as to your identity.<\/p>\n<h3>Funds Required for an Australian Tourist Visa<\/h3>\n<p>When travelling to Australia, you may be required to show proof of funds. This can include displaying a minimum bank balance on your bank statement, audits, taxation records or other proof of satisfactory employment and income. After the application is processed, <strong>in the rare case a bank statement is required by Australian Immigration in order to verify your bank balance, an immigration officer will contact you<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h3>Medical Requirements for an Australian Travel Visa<\/h3>\n<p>If you are applying for a <strong>non-eVisitor Australian visa<\/strong> and plan on staying in Australia for more than 6 months, you might be required to complete a health check and a chest X-ray.

In these cases, Yellow Fever is the only vaccination requirement.<\/p>\n<h3>Australian Tourist Visa Age Limits for British Citizens<\/h3>\n<p><strong>For UK passport holders willing to travel from the United Kingdom to Australia there is no age limit on tourist visas<\/strong>. Of course, anyone who is travelling to Australia without an Australian passport will need a visa on arrival \u2013 and for a child under 18, the visa will be based on the child\u2019s passport. This means children will need separate visas, using details from their passports (children who are on their parents\u2019 passports also need their own visas, but the information from their parents\u2019 passport will be used).<\/p>\n<ul class=\"visa-pics\" style=\"float: right;\">\n<li><a class=\"apply\" href=\"https:\/\/auvisa.org\/uk\/visa\/\">Apply now<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><br style=\"clear: both;\" \/><br style=\"clear: both;\" \/><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"visas-process\">Process and Processing Time for Australian Tourist Visas<\/h2>\n<h3>Visa processing time for an Australian eVisitor Tourist Visa (Subclass 651)<\/h3>\n<p>The eVisitor is the most commonly used Australian Tourist Visa.

This means that within one year since when the Tourist visa has been issued you can enter, leav and re-enter Australia as many times as you wish \u2013 as long as each entry lasts a maximum of 90 days.<\/p>\n<p>However, <strong>if your current visa is due to expire while you are still in the country, you will need to apply for an Australian tourist visa renewal, via a <a href=\"https:\/\/auvisa.org\/uk\/long-stay-visa-to-australia\/\">Long-stay tourist visa<\/a> application<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h3>What happens if I stay too long and my Australian tourist visa has expired?<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Overstaying your stay with a tourist visa in Australia will result in your becoming an \u201cunlawful non-citizen\u201d<\/strong> &#8211; which can lead to detention and removal from the country. Worse, it could interfere with your ability to re-enter Australia on a tourist visa in the future. If you overstay your visa by more than 28 days, you could even become excluded and prevented from re-entering Australia on a tourist visa for as long as 3 years. Don\u2019t do it.<\/p>\n<h3>Can I change my Australian visa once I am in the country?<\/h3>\n<p><strong>No, you cannot change your visa type<\/strong>, such as an Australia tourist visa multiple entry, once you are in the country. However, you can apply for a further stay via the Long-Stay Tourist Visa, subclass 676.<\/p>\n<h3>What are my other options for extending my tourist visa?<\/h3>\n<p>Because the consequences of an Australia tourist visa overstay can be so serious, <strong>it is critical that you apply for a tourist visa renewal or extension as soon as possible and before your visa has expired<\/strong>.

However, they can do <strong>volunteer work<\/strong> or engage in other business activities, such as <strong>business meetings, conferences or seminars<\/strong>. Of course, you can stay in Australia on your tourist visa while looking for work, but once you found it you should obtain a different kind of visa in order to legally maintain your work.<\/p>\n<p>However, working on a \u201ctourist visa\u201d in Australia is fairly common &#8211; especially for those who wish to work to pay for their holidays. <strong>If you want to legally work in Australia during your holiday though you will need a special, dedicated visa \u2013 not an eVisitor.

However, your Work and Holiday Visa must be used within one year of the date it is issued, and it will be active for 12 months from the date you enter the country.<\/p>\n<p>A working holiday visa cannot be extended: if you choose to stay longer, you must apply for a new visa. Additionally, you cannot bring dependent children or other family members with you, and you must pay taxes from anything you earn during your tourist visa working days.<\/p>\n<p>The cost for a working holiday tourist visa is of <span class=\"woocommerce-Price-amount amount\"><bdi><span class=\"woocommerce-Price-currencySymbol\">&pound;<\/span>515.00<\/bdi><\/span> as of 2024, but additional costs may also arise, including costs for police certificates, biometrics and health checks.
