Free Australian ETA Visa application*
 
* Due to changes to Australian entry requirements post-Covid, I am unable to process anymore ETAs *

Everyone must now apply their ETAs online themselves at : https://immi.homeaffairs.gov.au/visa...-authority-601

Visitor ETAs can only be processed for the following applicable passport holders:

USA, CANADA , BRUNEI, HONGKONG (SAR), JAPAN, MALAYSIA, SINGAPORE & SOUTH KOREA.

EUROPEAN Passport Holders (including Switzerland, Norway, Iceland) must apply for an 'eVisitor' pass at this site:
https://immi.homeaffairs.gov.au/visa...g/evisitor-651

It has been a pleasure helping out the FT community these past 15 years.

Happy travels..

Wayne aka Guy Betsy

Wow, what a nice deed! Too bad I already applied for them for my trip next month, but this is very very kind of you!:) ^

Is there any other countrys passports other than new zealand passport that you dont need to get a visa as they just give it to you at customs for free when you arrive in aussie.

Kiwi Flyer Apr 25, 2007 11:38 pm

Australia & NZ passports no visa required (it isnt given on arrival - there is no visa). Everywhere else needs one.

I suspect you are going to be a very busy person given the latest Mileage Run deal. :)

Probably not since with a C fare people can get it free from UA.

Let's keep discussion to GuyBetsy's kind offer to process Australian visas for FTers. I've just deleted some posts that might be interesting on another thread, but are not relevant to the purpose of this one.

Do we need the australian visa is we're connecting via SYD to Auckland? I wasn't sure. I'm 1K on UA, so they'll do it for me for free - thank you Guy Betsy for your offer, though ^

Kiwi Flyer May 9, 2007 8:42 pm

If you stay airside then no need for visa.

Guy Betsy May 14, 2007 2:07 pm

The whole point of doing the ETAs for free is that I wish that the fee where one would otherwise have paid in getting the visas done be directed towards a good cause.

That good cause would preferbly be in some charitable donation up to (and over if you like) the cost of what each ETA would be. (ie US$12) But it could also be something as simple of doing something wonderful for someone you don't know. It does not have to be for someone here on FT. For example, giving a systemwide voucher for the sake of giving it away - and not because it is expiring in 10 days!

Doing something because you got it for free anyway doesn't count... One of the first offers of generosity of "Passing it Forward" came from jberry, who offered to donate $20 to Native Animail Rescue. She also does volunteer work in helping "untangling fishing line, rope and things from pelicans and pigeons with Native Animal Rescue... " ^

Now that was really something...
