Visas for Australia

Visas For Australia

If you are thinking of travelling to Australia, you will first of all need to obtain a visa. The Australian government operates an electronic visa system (ETA) for visits and short stay business trips of up to 3 months.

This means that you do not get a visa label in your passport; the visa for Australia is granted electronically and is linked directly to your passport number so that when you arrive at check-in your personal and travel details are already available to the airline via their computer system.

For a short holiday or business trip of up to 3 months you can now get a visa for Australia on-line through the AMA website. The process is simple and can be done from the comfort of your own home! No need to go to the Australian High Commission in London or to a travel agent for a visa for Australia. Just click on the link on the AMA website and this takes you directly to the information pages and the application form for a short stay visit visa for Australia.

All you need is your current passport and a credit card to complete the process. The visa for Australia is granted and stored electronically and we send an email direct to your email address to confirm the visa grant and give you the details of your visa for Australia. You can then print this email to carry with you when you travel if you prefer to have a paper copy of your visa.

Other visas for Australia that Australian Migration Associates Ltd can help you with are Working Holiday visas and permanent visas. Australian Working Holiday visas can be obtained through the AMA website by clicking on the appropriate link. This takes you directly through to the information pages for the Australian Working Holiday visa and the visa application.

Permanent visas for Australia are more complex and cannot be applied for on-line (with a couple of exceptions). Australian Migration Associates Ltd can help you obtain a permanent visa for Australia if you meet the very strict criteria set out by the Australian government.
