Anyone ever been to Australia? Help needed.

Hi

Someone I know is looking to go to Australia but is having trouble finding the relevant VISA forms to fill in- apparently these are available online, but I can't find them either. Is there anything else he'll need to fill in or sort out before he goes?

Cheers.

This is for an ETA... which is useful... is there any for a full Visa?

I think he may also be taking members of his family with him... any ideas? would they need 4 ETA applications?

No idea sorry, never been.

I just put "Australia Tourist Visa" into Google and that was the first result.

Hi.

We got ours through the Travel Agent.

Also, make sure you don't still have to have any jabs from your doctor.

My tip for going to Australia is to avoid everything.

Even the rocks there will jump up and bite you

anyone can get a 3 month holiday visa, but not everyone can get the 1 year working visa, there is a new 2 year visa but only if you work in remote places for 3 months. it is harder to immigrate though, but not entirely impossible.

just hit the Australian embassy website, so Mr Google shall help with that, and some of the links above.

it is fab, I highly recommend it. I want to go back ASAP to Sydney.

Another tip: At all cost avoid ordering half a pint of beer, as people will think you're a bit of a girl

I would have thought one visa per person/passport
