With a Danish passport, your tourist visa is the eVisitor (subclass 651), which is free. We show you how to get it yourself, right the first time, without overpaying an agency.
Travelling to Australia on a Danish passport? Your visa is the eVisitor (subclass 651), a free online authorisation available to Danish and many European passport holders. Here's how to get it from Denmark — with the flight options and the best time to escape the Nordic winter — without mistakes.
Yes. You can't enter Australia on your passport alone: you need a prior authorisation. For Danish citizens, that authorisation is the eVisitor 651: it allows tourism or business, stays of up to 3 months per entry and is valid for 12 months. It is granted by the Australian Government (Department of Home Affairs).
From Copenhagen there's no direct flight to Australia; you'll connect through Dubai (Emirates), Doha (Qatar Airways), Singapore or Bangkok, reaching the east coast or Perth in around 21–24 hours total. Book the visa first — the eVisitor is verified electronically at check-in.
Denmark's short, dark winter days (December–February) are exactly when Australia is in full summer — the classic Nordic escape to Sydney, the Gold Coast and the reef. Prefer milder weather? Australia's autumn (Mar–May) and spring (Sep–Nov) are excellent. The eVisitor covers up to 3 months per entry over 12 months.
The eVisitor 651 is free: the Government charges no fee. So why do people pay? To avoid getting it wrong (a mistake can delay or sink your trip) and to avoid the kr 500–1,000 an agency charges for 15 minutes of clicking.
The eVisitor is a visitor authorisation — it does not allow paid work. If you're under 35 and want to work while you travel, Denmark has a reciprocal Working Holiday (subclass 417) agreement with Australia. That's a different visa with its own rules; the eVisitor on this page is only for tourism and business visits.

No. The eVisitor (651) is for tourism and business only. Danish citizens under 35 have a separate Working Holiday (subclass 417) route if they want to work while travelling.
Many Danes travel December–February to swap the dark Nordic winter for the Australian summer. Australia's autumn and spring offer milder weather and lower prices if you prefer.
