Travelling to Australia from the UK

Travelling to Australia and holding a British passport? Good news: your visa is the eVisitor (subclass 651), a free electronic authorisation reserved for European passports such as the British one. Here we explain how to get it from the UK, without mistakes and without paying an agency.

Do UK citizens need a visa for Australia?

Yes. You can't enter Australia on your passport alone: you need a prior authorisation. For British 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).

How much does it cost? (spoiler: it's free)

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 £70–130 an agency charges for 15 minutes of clicking.
