The eVisitor (subclass 651) is the free authorisation for tourism or business available to European passports. We explain everything and guide you so you get it right the first time.
If you hold a European passport and want to travel to Australia for tourism or business, the eVisitor visa (subclass 651) is, almost always, your best option: it is free, it is processed online and it is linked electronically to your passport. But a single wrong detail or an inconsistent answer can delay or complicate it. Here we explain everything, updated for 2026.
🎓 You do it yourself in under 15 minutes.
What we offer is a step-by-step course so that you yourself can obtain your eVisitor 651 in under 15 minutes and without mistakes. We do NOT apply for or process the visa for you. Kangaroland is a private agency for advisory and training; we are in no case the Australian Government or the Department of Home Affairs. The eVisitor is free on the official site; our course is an independent and optional training service.
The eVisitor 651 is an electronic travel authorisation granted by the Australian Government to holders of eligible European passports, for short stays of tourism or business. It is not a label in your passport: it is recorded digitally. The decision to grant it rests exclusively with the Department of Home Affairs.
The 651 is reserved for passports of eligible European countries, including:
It looks simple, and sometimes it is, but mistakes in the details or inconsistent answers cause delays and refusals. That is why many people prefer to do it with guidance.
| Visa | For whom | Cost |
|---|---|---|
| eVisitor 651 | Eligible European passports | Free (fee $0) |
| Visitor 600 | Any nationality | Government fee (paid) |
| ETA 601 | Some countries (USA, Canada, Japan, etc.) | Small service fee |
The conditions and fees are set by the Australian Government and may change. Always verify them on the official site.
The eVisitor 651 is free on the official website, but a mistake can cost you the trip (flights and accommodation already paid for). These are your options:
| Traditional agency | Alone, in the dark | With our course 🎓 | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Price | 80–150 € per person | Free… with risk | 26 USD (one-time payment) |
| Risk of error | Low | ⚠️ High | ✅ Low |
| You stay in control | No, they do it | Yes, without guidance | Yes, step by step |
| Works for your family | No (you pay for each one) | — | Yes, with one purchase |
| Time | Days | Hours + doubts | 15 minutes |
In all honesty: you are not paying for the visa (it is free on the official website). For just 26 USD —far less than the 80–150 € of an agency— you learn to do it yourself, properly and right the first time, in 15 minutes and without stress. And it works for your whole family and for future trips. A mistake in the application can cost you the flight and the hotel: the course protects you from that for a fraction of its value.
If your passport is European, access our step-by-step course and obtain your eVisitor yourself, without mistakes. We do not apply for it on your behalf: we teach you how to do it. If your passport is not eligible, we advise you on the visa that applies to you.
The granting of any visa rests exclusively with the Department of Home Affairs. We do not guarantee results.
