What you need

  • Passport: Must be valid for the intended period of stay in Australia. It is recommended to have at least six months' validity beyond your intended departure date.
  • Application form: No specific paper form; the application is entirely online.
  • Financial proof: While not always explicitly requested at the time of ETA application, you must be able to demonstrate sufficient funds to support yourself during your stay in Australia. This can include bank statements, payslips, or credit card statements. Specific amounts are not fixed but should be reasonable for your intended stay and activities.
  • Accommodation and return ticket: You may be asked to show evidence of booked accommodation and a confirmed return or onward ticket at the Australian port of entry. It is advisable to have these readily available.
  • Photo specification: Not required for ETA applications. Passport photos are not submitted.
  • Biometrics: Not required for ETA applications.
  • Travel health insurance: Highly recommended for all travelers to Australia, though not a mandatory requirement for ETA. It can cover unexpected medical expenses.

Visa types

  • Electronic Travel Authority (ETA) (subclass 601):
  • Purpose: Tourism, visiting family and friends, or business visitor activities (e.g., attending conferences, negotiations, exploratory business visits. Does not permit work).
  • Validity: 12 months from the date of grant.
  • Maximum stay per visit: 3 months.
  • Entry type: Multiple entry.
  • Approximate fee: AUD 20 service fee.
  • Other visa types: For longer stays, study, or work, Andorra citizens will need to apply for a different visa subclass which requires a more detailed application process, often involving a paper application or specific online portal for that visa type. Examples include the Visitor visa (subclass 600) for longer tourist stays, or relevant student and work visas. These have different requirements, fees, and processing times.

Fees & processing time

  • VFS/BLS service fee: Not applicable for ETA applications made via the official app or website.
  • Total cost estimate: AUD 20.
  • Standard processing time: Typically within minutes to a few days. It is recommended to apply well in advance of your travel date to allow for any unexpected delays.
  • Express/priority option: Not available for ETA applications.

Tips for Andorra travelers

  • How far in advance to apply: Apply at least a few weeks before your intended travel date to allow for processing and to have your travel plans finalized. However, as ETAs are often processed quickly, applying closer to the date is common.
  • Common rejection reasons for Andorra applicants specifically: While Andorra is a country with a good ETA agreement, rejections can occur if the applicant has a criminal record, previous adverse immigration history with Australia or other countries, or if the application details are inaccurate or incomplete. Submitting an application for work purposes when an ETA is only for business visitor activities can also lead to refusal.
  • VFS/BLS vs direct embassy application: For the ETA, you must apply directly through the official Australian ETA App or the Department of Home Affairs website. VFS/BLS are not involved in the ETA application process. For other visa types, a visa application centre (VAC) like VFS Global or BLS International might be used for submission of documents and biometrics, depending on the specific visa subclass and application location.
  • Any current travel advisories or bilateral notes: Always check the Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT) website for the latest travel advisories for Andorra. Currently, there are no specific advisories for Andorra citizens regarding travel to Australia beyond general immigration requirements.
  • Extension options inside Australia: An ETA allows for stays of up to 3 months per visit within the 12-month validity period. Extending an ETA or your stay on an ETA within Australia is generally not possible. If you need to stay longer, you must apply for a different, substantive visa before your current stay expires.
