In Australia's wildlife, you'll see some of the world's most unusual and extraordinary living species. Marsupium, Kangaroo, Wallaby, Wombat, Opossums, Koalas, Dasyuromorphia... Clearly, this is a trip you won't soon forget.
However, if you want to travel to Australia, you need to comply with the formalities for entering the country. Far from being a headache, obtaining a visa is now easy with the digital e-visa. What makes the e-visa different from traditional visas, and how is it obtained? We tell you all about it here.
The e-visa: an easier way to discover Australia's wildlife!
The e-visa is the simplest, fastest and most recommended option by the governments of the countries where the revolution is taking place. Like several other countries, the Australian authorities introduced the electronic visa (also known as the "eVisitor") in 1996 and extended its use to all eligible countries. This type of visa is compulsory to enter Australia and is easy to obtain, especially for European travellers. French, Swiss, Belgians and others are eligible to apply.
The e-visa allows you to enter and leave Australia as many times as you like over a 12-month period, for stays of up to 90 days. If you decide to explore Australia's wildlife, this is the best option for you. The e-visa saves you the hassle of going through the red tape at the embassy or immigration office, as well as the extra costs. Children aged 16 and under are not required to obtain an e-visa. It takes 7 days to obtain and can be obtained in several ways.
How do I get an e-visa to discover Australia's wildlife?
The procedure for obtaining an Australian e-visa is entirely online. It is an official authorisation document issued digitally in PDF format, giving you access to the country. To apply for one, you have the choice of using the official website of the authorities through the immigration service, or the embassy website. Alternatively, you can use the services of an agency. This remains the most practical option, and the one most used by many travellers, thanks to its speed and affordable rates.
To get your eVisitor to discover Australia's wildlife, here's what you need:
- Fill in the application form.
- Digitally show your passport, which must be valid for at least 6 months after entering Australia.
- Not be in possession of a current Australian visa.
- Apply from outside Australia.
The cost of processing your application must be taken into account. the eVisitor has no consular charges. The eVisitor takes no more than 72 hours to complete. You will then receive your visa by e-mail, and all you have to do is print it out and present it to the authorities once you are in Australia.
The main advantage of the digital visa over traditional visas is that you can make a group application for a family trip. This is ideal if you want the whole family to discover Australia's wildlife.
