Australian visa policy for Irish citizens

Irish citizens need an Australia eVisitor visa (subclass 651) or Electronic Travel Authority (ETA - Subclass 601) to enter Australia for tourism or business. Most Irish 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 Irish citizens:

Australia eVisitor Visa (Subclass 651): For Irish 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 Irish travelers are:

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