Australia has many embassies and consulates around the world. These are Australia’s diplomatic representation to different countries.
Embassies and consulates also provide services to Australian nationals abroad and to foreign nationals who wish to visit the country.
One of the responsibilities of embassies is to receive and process certain visa applications. However, it is generally more convenient to apply online for a visa for short-term visits.
Do I need to go to an Australian Embassy to get a visa?
If you are visiting Australia on holiday or for business, you may be able to avoid having to go to an embassy or consulate in person to get your visa.
Holders of passports issued by eligible countries can apply for an Australian visa or ETA online for short-term stays.
You will likely need to submit a visa application at an embassy or consulate only in the following circumstances:
- You are not a citizen of a country eligible for the eVisitor visa or ETA
- You plan to move to Australia or stay long-term
- You intend to engage in activities other than tourism or business, such as work, study, volunteering, etc.
