In 1996, the Australian government introduced an electronic visa called "eVisitor", which is compulsory for entry into Australia. It allows you to enter and leave as many times as you like over a 12-month period, for stays of up to 90 days. Most nationalities are eligible. The eVisitor is free, excluding private processing fees. The average time taken to obtain an eVisitor is 72 hours for urgent departures.
