Australian visa policy for French citizens

French citizens need an Australia eVisitor visa (subclass 651) or Electronic Travel Authority (ETA - Subclass 601) to enter Australia for tourism or business. Most French citizens choose the eVisitor (Subclass 651) because it offers the same short-stay travel rights as the ETA. The ETA is usually chosen only if someone prefers applying via the mobile app or if they run into eligibility or processing issues with the eVisitor.

iVisa offers one Australia entry document for French citizens:

  • Australia eVisitor Visa (Subclass 651): For French citizens visiting Australia for tourism, holidays, family visits, or business activities. It doesn't allow paid work. It allows multiple stays of up to 3 months per visit and is valid for 12 months.

General Australia entry requirements for French travelers are:

  • A French passport (recommended to be valid for 6 months from arrival)
  • Photo
  • You may be asked to show evidence of purpose, funds, or onward travel

"Id been experiencing lots of probs with accessing the gov.app. mostly due to my lack of tech. Know-how. So found this ideal for me, maybe a bit expensive but worth the lack of headaches. It was also alot quicker than I expected."
