Phase 1: Understanding the Tourist Visa

If you’re traveling from the UK to Australia for holidays, sightseeing, or visiting friends and family, you’ll need a Tourist Visa, also known as an eVisitor (Subclass 651).
This electronic visa allows multiple trips to Australia for 12 months, staying up to 90 days each time, without the need for paper forms or passport stamps.

To qualify for an Australian Tourist Visa, you must:

  • Be a UK citizen holding a valid passport.

  • Travel for tourism or visiting purposes only (not for work).

  • Be free of criminal convictions and meet basic health standards.

There’s no age limit — the visa applies to adults and children alike.

Phase 3: Visa Duration and Validity

  • Validity: 12 months from the date of issue.

  • Stay per visit: Up to 90 days.

  • Entries: Multiple entries allowed during validity.

If you wish to stay longer than 3 months at a time, you’ll need a Tourist Stream Visa (Subclass 600).
