Please help! How do I get an Australian visa?

Question

Please help! How do I get an Australian visa? I'm a permanent U.S resident, a green card holder, I just want to visit my relatives in Australia. How do I get a visa? And how long does it take to get one? My husband is a U.S citizen does he needs a visa too?

My nationality is filipino

Answer 1

You will both need visas and you should be able to get them online if you wish to stay less than 3 months.

Go to http://www.eta.immi.gov.au/ for more information and to lodge an application. The application will cost AU$20 and is payable by credit card.

Good day to you Nie,

You may apply for a visitor visa. Try the electronic travel authority (ETA) visa for Australia. It's the easiest and fastest visa to apply for online. See http://www.nationalvisas.com.au/visitor/... for instructions.

Or, if you do not wish to get an ETA visa, you may apply for Family Sponsored - Visitor Short Stay (Subclass 679) Visa. This type of visa is for people that have family members in Australia and want to come for a short visit.

These travel visas are valid for multiple visits within 12 months from their date of issue, the maximum length of each visit is three months and you cannot work in Australia. Check it out here http://www.nationalvisas.com.au/visitor/...

Good luck! :)

Answer 4

Yes and not long if you apply for an e-visa over the internet.

Don't use an agent cause they charge you more.

Go directly to the immi website and click on tourist and then e-visa. It's cheaper and quicker.
