Visa info ...

US Customs & Border Info:

Australia Visitor Visa (ETA): Do you need an Australia Visitor Visa? You may purchase the electronic visa online at the same time you purchase your airline tickets. There will not be a physical document to send you. We will email you once the visa has been approved and you may print that out with your E-Ticket confirmation and bring it to check in. The cost for a visa is an additional $20.00 fee. E-Tickets will be issued no later than 30 days prior to departure.

Most U.S. passport holders traveling to Australia for tourism or business purposes for less than 90 days can obtain an Electronic Travel Authority (ETA). The ETA is an electronic label-free visa and can be obtained at the ETA website for a small service fee. Jan 8, 2016

Entry, Exit & Visa Requirements

You must have a valid U.S. passport and a visa to enter Australia. Most U.S. passport holders traveling to Australia for tourism or business purposes for less than 90 days can obtain an Electronic Travel Authority (ETA). The ETA is an electronic label-free visa and can be obtained at the ETA website for a small service fee. Airlines and many travel agents in the United States are also able to apply for ETAs on behalf of travelers. If you overstay your ETA or any other visa, even for short periods, you may be subject to exclusion, detention, and removal by the Australian Department of Immigration and Border Protection (DIBP). You can obtain more information about the ETA, other visas, and entry requirements from the Embassy of Australia at 1601 Massachusetts Avenue, NW, Washington, DC 20036, via the Australian Visa Information Service at 905-280-1437 (toll charges to Canada apply) or the Embassy’s website.
