Who is eligible

Holders of a valid passport of the Federal Republic of Germany can apply for the eVisitor. Eligibility depends on your passport, not on where you live.

If you hold more than one nationality, apply with the passport you will travel with. Check our full eligibility page for health, character and other requirements.

What you can do in Australia

You can holiday, visit family or friends, and take part in business visitor activities such as meetings or conferences. Short study or training of up to 3 months is allowed in certain circumstances.

The eVisitor does not allow paid work. If you plan to work while travelling, a different visa is required.

How long you can stay

The eVisitor is generally valid for 12 months and allows multiple entries. Each visit can last up to 3 months from the date of arrival.

The visa is linked to your passport. If you renew your German passport, you will need a new eVisitor.

How to apply

Apply from outside Australia, before you travel, with your passport, contact details and travel plans ready. Each traveler, including each child, needs their own application.

Our private assistance service costs $79. The government application itself is free and can be made directly with the Department of Home Affairs.
