If you’re someone with a soon expiring visa who’s currently stranded in Australia due to unfortunate conditions or situations beyond your control, you’ll have to apply for a BVE (Bridging Visa) so you can remain in the country.

Take note that if your visa has expired, you need to apply for a BVE as soon as possible so you can become lawful while you make arrangements to leave Australia. You can apply for one directly at the Australian Government Department of Home Affairs website.

This said, if you’re planning to visit Australia soon you will need to request an ETA or Electronic Travel Authorization before your trip. You will also need a COVID-19 Travel Request to be allowed to enter this country.

The good thing is, iVisa.com can help you process these online papers from the comfort of your home, without you having to go through endless lines at the airport.

Frequently Asked Questions

WHY DO I NEED AN ETA ON ARRIVAL AND A COVID-19 TRAVEL REQUEST?

You will need these papers to verify your entry at the airport and avoid issues with the immigration officers. In other words, you won’t be able to enter by only applying for the Electronic Travel Authorization, you will also have to display a COVID-19 travel request.

Please be advised that without these travel documents, you will be denied to enter Australia. You can apply for your digital COVID-19 Travel Request through iVisa.com’s friendly platform as well.
