Travelers with a Dutch or Belgian nationality, both tourist and business, always need a visa before traveling to Australia.

Different types of visas are available for Australia, such as the ETA Australia, the eVisitor visa, the business ETA Australia and the Working Holiday visa. Most travelers with Dutch or Belgian nationality use the eVisitor visa as this is the cheapest variant and easy to apply with us.

If you have one of the nationalities below, the Australian Immigration Service recommends traveling with the Australia eVisitor. However, you must ensure that you submit the application with the passport of this permitted nationality and also travel with the relevant passport. If you have dual nationality, it is recommended that you use the passport from the list below during your trip.

You must also meet the visa requirements of the eVisitor visa Australia.
If you have one of the above nationalities, apply for your eVisitor visa Australia immediately and easily.

The eVisitor visa is valid for 12 months from the time it is granted. You may enter Australia several times, for a maximum of 3 consecutive months, within these 12 months. So you can be in Australia several times up to 3 months per stay.
However, it varies by visa type how long you can stay in Australia.

If, after paying your visa, you have not received an email from us within an hour, first check the junk mail folder (spam box). Didn’t receive an email there either? Please contact us by phone or e-mail via the contact page.

No, you do not have to collect your eVisitor visa, the application is processed completely electronically and sent by e-mail.

The eVisitor is linked to the passport with which you made the application. That means that both the airline and the Immigration Service of Australia can check if you are complying with the visa requirement by passing your passport through a passport scanner. Usually, it is not necessary to show the visa, but it is wise to have a print of the visa with you or that you can show it on your laptop / tablet or phone if it is rarely requested.

No, the visa cannot be extended. If you are outside Australia, you can apply for a new eVisitor visa as often as you like with a new 12-month validity period. If your visa expires while you are in Australia, you must apply for a different type of visa in time from the local authority in Australia.

When you apply for a Australia visa while you have a criminal record, this application will be assessed individually based on your personal history, after which it is up to the authorities to decide whether or not to obtain a visa.
When filling in the application form, please make sure that you do not make a false statement and that if you have committed crimes, you are legally obliged to report them correctly.

Transferring in Australia is possible without a visa. You may be in Australia for a maximum of 8 hours without a visa and may not leave the airport in the meantime, nor must a flight have already been booked before flying to Australia.

If your transfer takes longer than 8 hours, it is possible to apply for a transit visa (subclass 771) via Traveldocs. With this visa you can stay at the airport for up to 72 hours and you can also safely check in and out again if your transfer goes through another gate. However, this transit visa is not available through our website and we can only submit it upon request. Please contact us for more information and rates.

To apply for an eVisitor visa, simply fill out our online application form on this website. After filling in you will be redirected to our payment page from where you can pay quickly and easily with iDeal, Paypal, Bancontact or Credit card.
As soon as the payment has been made, we will process your request. You will always receive, within 72 hours (also check your junk mail folder), an email stating whether your eVisitor visa for Australia has been approved or rejected.

The Australian Immigration Service recommends applying for the visa 6 weeks  before departure. Normally, an application does not take more than a few hours, but in the rare cases that an application is rejected, there is still enough time to make an appointment at the consulate to possibly obtain a different type of visa.
If you are leaving for Australia soon, you can also use our emergency procedure.

The Working Holiday Maker visa can take up to 34 days to process, so please apply far in advance.

If you urgently need an eVisitor visa, you only need to tick the option “urgent” on the online application form. If you submit this urgent application, it will be processed immediately and you will usually be granted the eVisitor visa within an hour. There is a surcharge of € 17,50 per traveler for this procedure, please note: this is an average delivery time and no guarantee can be given here, in exceptional cases an urgent application can only be answered after 72 hours because the Australian immigration service selects your application randomly for a more extensive check.

Yes, it is possible to add multiple travelers on one application form who travel to Australia together. Because a lot of data only has to be entered once, this can save a lot of input.

The application passport must be valid for a minimum of 6 months upon arrival in Australia. If you apply for a new passport after the application, you must also apply for a new visa as they are linked, so a visa linked to an expired passport is not valid.

Document numbers in the Netherlands never contain the letter “O”, but they can contain the number “0”. Even though it seems that there is a letter O in your passport, it will be the number 0. It is also important to know that document numbers in the Netherlands are 9 characters long.
Belgian document numbers may include the letter (s) “O” and / or the number “0”. Belgian document numbers are 8 characters long and always start with 2 letters followed by 6 numbers.

The Visa Grant/Label number is a unice number, which is connected to your passport. Each visa has it’s own Visa Grant number and/or Visa Label number.

It is not mandatory to fill in the Visa Grant Number or Visa Label Number of your previous trip to Australia. However, leaving these fields empty (if ever obtained) may delay the processing of your request.

If you request a second or third Working Holiday Maker visa, you must provide a previous visa grant number, along with the information about the work you have been doing in Australia on your previous WHM visa (subclass 417 and 462). If you cannot provide this, it is not possible to obtain a WHM visa.

Below are images showing (in pink color) where to find them:

Visa Grant number                                                   Visa Label number

If you are unable to find the number, please contact the Australian Embassy in Berlin tel: +49 30 88 00 88 0.

Voor het eVisitor visum dient u wel in het bezit te zijn van een kopie vliegticket op naam. Een hotelbevestiging hoeft u niet aan te leveren.

Voor het WHM (Working Holiday Maker) visum hoeft u geen hotel- noch een vluchtbevestiging aan te leveren.

Cancellation is only possible before payment is completed. As soon as we have received the payment of your eVisitor visa application, we will process it immediately and refund of your payment is no longer possible from that moment.
If you made a mistake with the application, you can submit a new application. Costs for this new application are entirely at your own expense.

If your application is approved, you will never receive your money back. Not even if you do not use your eVisitor visa for Australia.

In this case, please contact us as soon as possible to indicate what is not in order. Whether your visa application can still be corrected depends on the nature of the error and the status of your application. If we have not delivered your application to the embassy yet, it is possible to make changes. If your applicaiton is already in the hands of the embassy, there is nothing we can do. You must obtain a new visa with the proper information and cancel the existing one.
