Tourist Visa Australia

Do I need a tourist visa for Australia?

Saving up for that holiday? Got your holiday insurance sorted, got your tickets and bag packed? Oh by the way have you got your tourist visa organised?

Most will be able to say yes to the first few options but some travellers are completely unaware that they need a visa to enter other countries. There are a few different types of travel visa’s for Australia and depending on what your purpose is for visiting will depend on what visa is right for you.

With so much information readily available online, it’s hard to believe that people still arrive in foreign countries and have not applied for a visa before arriving. In some cases visa’s can be fixed on arrival, in other cases you will be refused entry and will be returned home.
