Aussie Visa question
sorry if this posted in wrong place - but no idea where else to ask!
I am traveling to OZ with someone who will be using a US Travel Permit (political asylum). Does he need an australian visa or can he get an electronic visa like those with US passports? I am keen to know if there is a website for other countries about travel permit visa requirements.
tks

I think it'll have to be a visa. You need to hold a passport from a limited list of countries to be eligible for an ETA.

I think that will have to be a Visa. You will have to mail it to
the Embassy in DC.

For the UK, it may depend on his actual nationality. The UK Visas site may help you a bit more on this.

Your friend needs to apply for a proper visa from the nearest Australian embassy. Be prepared to show lots of documents, and appear in a personal interview.
Does your friend travel on the US travel permit now or does he/she still use his/her original passport still?
You 'know' that you don't need a visa for Germany? Most US Travel permits do not work like US passports anymore.. so it is best to check with EACH country's consulate to be doubly sure.
