How long you can stay
This is a temporary visa. The migration department grant it for either 12 months from the date it is granted, or how long your passport is valid for, whichever is the shorter.
The visa is granted with multiple entry. You can leave and re-enter Australia as many times as you want while it is valid. You can remain in Australia for 3 months after each entry.
The visa starts on the date it is granted unless you hold another substantive visa that is in effect.
You cannot stay in Australia longer by extending this visa. You must apply for another visa.
Including family
You cannot include family members in your application. A separate application must be made for each member of your family, including those listed on your passport.
Cost
The ETA is free. There is an online application service cost of AUD20.
Processing times
Standard processing time for the Australian visa and ETA is 24 hours. Rushed visas can be done sooner than 24 hours and super rushed processing time takes 1 hour.
Your application might take longer to process if:
· you don’t fill it in correctly
· it takes us time to verify your information
Any other substantive visa
If you hold any other substantive visa and an ETA when you arrive in Australia, you will enter Australia on your other substantive visa, not your ETA. Your ETA will come into effect when the other visa ceases.
However, the 3-month ETA stay period still begins when you enter Australia.
Check your other substantive visa is valid for more than 3 months if you want to stay in Australia longer than the 3-month ETA stay period.
