How to apply for Australia eVisitor visa in 2025

An eVisitor visa for Australia (Subclass 651) is an electronic document that grants entry in Australia to all those travelers who qualify for it. Basically, this document replaces the traditional consular visa and spares its holder of going to an embassy to apply for it. If you are eligible for this e-visa, iVisa can help you acquire it in as little time as possible.

Checking eligibility and requirements

Unfortunately, not everyone is eligible for an Australia eVisitor visa (Subclass 651). However, to establish whether or not you qualify for one, you can use iVisa's Visa Checker. It is a tool that lets you know in just a second where you stand. All you have to do is access the Visa Checker, which can be found on iVisa's homepage, select your country of origin in the left drag-down menu and choose Australia as your destination in the menu on the right.

Key requirements include:

• A valid passport with at least 6 months validity beyond your planned stay
• Clean travel history and meeting character requirements
• Genuine intention to visit for tourism or business purposes
• Sufficient funds to support your stay

Pro Tip: "Having your passport and travel dates ready before starting the application can significantly speed up the process. We recommend checking your passport's expiry date first, as this is the most common reason for delays."
