As long as you arrive in Australia before it expires, you're fine. It doesn't matter if the ETA expires while you're in Australia. Its the status of the validity of the ETA when you arrive that matters.

What a wonderful service you are offering and we especially love the Pay-it-forward concept!
In appreciation, we have made contributions to our local food bank and to Remote Area Medical, an organization that does a fantastic job in bringing health care to under-served and uninsured folks in rural areas.

Hi Guy, First what a wonderful idea! 1 quick question...I meet the FT membership requirements, but my fiance does not. Is it only possible to get my own Visa?
Since I'll be using this to go to Australia, I figure I'll pay it forward to some sort of Australian charity. Any suggestions? I'd prefer some sort of environmental or animal cause...since my reason for going to Oz is to dive the GBR, I'd love to make a donation to some sort of GBR conservation program.
FT FTW!

Wonderful concept. I and my spouse will be making a donation in the amount of twice our ETA fees to an environmental issues advocacy organization, as an indirect offset to our impact through travel. In addition, we will be changing our grocery purchasing by buying a CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) share. Hopefully, these will be more effective in the long run than a one off activity.
Thanks again for the positive contribution to the community.

My wife will fly to Ghana in December and help stage a seminar for a dozen African entrepreneurs to scale their businesses and expand into multiple countries, thereby providing jobs and adding value to the economy of those African countries. I am working on my 3rd book on marriage & parenting advice.

My wife and I have recently contributed to the local childhood blood cancer telethon. She provides used clothing to an organization called Dress for Success. Yesterday, she returned from yet another trip to the Goodwill trailer.

We will be making donations to both Goodwill and Salvation Army. Thank you again, Guy Betsy, your generosity through this thread and charitable disposition have undoubtedly helped a great many people.
