Do you need a visa to travel to australia if you are under 18?

Question

I'm flying this year to australia, and am already worrying about how to get the money, but on top of everything else, I found out earlier, you need a visa to travel there, even if it is just for a holiday. I'm 15, and flying with a few friends of the same age in the summer, not sure if am adult is coming or not, and I'm wondering if I need to get a visa as well, even though I'm under 18...? If I do need one, can anyone tell me where I can get one from and how much they would cost?

Thank you!

Answer 1

Yes you do need a visa. You may apply for an Electronic Travel Authority (ETA) visa and get it online with in minutes if you're qualified. In most cases, your ETA Visa will be approved in less than 30 seconds.

But an ETA visa does not apply to all countries, it depends on where you'll be coming from. You can check it out here http://www.nationalvisas.com.au/visitor/... and it costs AU$49.00

You should have sufficient funds to cover the trip and an incentive to return.

Have fun! =)
