Visa Information for International Visitors to Australia

All visitors to Australia must have a valid visa to travel to and enter Australia. New Zealand and Norfolk Island passport holders do not usually need to lodge a visa application prior to their departure unless they have health and/or character concerns.

VISA APPLICATION PROCESS


For the best possible chance of obtaining a visa to travel to Australia to attend the IIC Perth, you should:

  • Determine which visa you should apply for (ETAeVisitorVisitor subclass 600 visa).
  • Apply for your visa at least six weeks before your intended date of travel to Australia (or two weeks if you are from an ETA or eVisitor eligible country) as visa processing times may vary.
  • Consider Australia's health and character requirements, which you will have to meet as part of the visa application process.
  • If you are not eligible to apply for an eVisitor visa or ETA, ensure you obtain a confirmation of your registration, or a letter of invitation, to attach to your Visitor Subclass 600 visa application.
  • Lodge paper-based visa applications at the Australian visa office nearest to your current country of residence.

If you require a letter of invitation to the 2019 IIC Perth to support your visa application, please contact us at least six weeks before your inteded date of travel.
