Pick a destination and purpose to see the government’s official pages and the questions to check for your situation
Wakation does not decide whether you can enter or which visa you need. The answer depends on your passport, departure country, length and purpose, so always check the official pages below. Every link goes to an official government site — not an agency that charges to file on your behalf.

Questions to check for your situation
Find the answers on the official pages or with the embassy or immigration authority. Wakation does not answer them for you.
- Which can I apply for with my passport: ETA (601), eVisitor (651) or a visitor visa (600)?
- How do I apply for the ETA, and is there a fee?
- Does my course fit within the total study time allowed on a visitor status?
- Would remote work for an overseas employer in Australia breach the visitor work restriction?
- If I want to work during my stay, do I need a separate visa such as a working holiday visa?
