Description

Swiss citizens can visit Australia without paying a government visa fee, but they must obtain an eVisitor visa (Subclass 651) before departure. This electronic travel authorisation allows multiple short visits for tourism, business, or family purposes, with each stay lasting up to three months within a 12-month period. Our Travel Authorisation Australia service makes this application simple, accurate, and stress-free, ensuring you are fully prepared before departure.

It is important to note that the eVisitor cannot be used for employment or long-term study. If you plan to work, study for an extended period, or stay longer than three months, you must apply for a different type of Australian visa. Our team can guide you on the options available for your specific needs.

Entry requirements for Swiss citizens include:

A valid Swiss passport (recommended over ID, with at least six months’ validity)
Successful online application for the eVisitor visa before departure
Proof of onward or return travel, if requested by immigration
Evidence of sufficient funds to cover your stay

While the eVisitor is an electronic authorisation, Swiss citizens are advised to carry a copy of the eVisitor grant approval when traveling. Airline staff or border officers may request to see proof of your authorisation. Our service ensures you receive the official confirmation and know exactly what to present if asked.

Health considerations are also important. Travelers may be subject to additional checks if they intend to stay for extended periods, study, or work. Proof of vaccination (such as yellow fever, if arriving from a risk area) may be required. COVID-19 rules have eased but can change quickly, so checking for updates shortly before departure is strongly recommended.

Comprehensive travel insurance should be arranged early. Medical care in Australia can be very expensive, and a policy covering at least €30,000 for medical treatment and repatriation is highly recommended.

The eVisitor visa is valid for 12 months and permits multiple entries, with each visit limited to three months. Extensions are not usually possible inside Australia, so planning ahead is essential if you require a longer stay. Processing is usually fast, but applying in advance gives you peace of mind.
