All visitors to Australia must have a valid visa to travel to and enter Australia. Once you have registered and paid the registration fees in full, a welcome letter will be emailed to you. It is strongly recommended that Australian visa applications are lodged at least 2-3 months prior to departure from your port of origin. Here is some information that may help you in selecting an appropriate Visa for entry.
