Australian Business Visa

An Australian business visa will allow you to make a short business trip (of up to 90 days in length) to Australia. Business visas provide the necessary authority required to enter Australia to attend business meetings, meet potential partners or clients, or conduct other business-related activities.

If you are planning on travelling to Australia for business purposes you will be required to apply for an Australian business visa, also known as a business ETA (Electronic Travel Authority).

This visa will be valid on your passport for 12 months from the date of issue, and will allow you to make multiple entries into Australia. This means you can leave, and then re-enter Australia as many times as you wish during this 12 month period; however you can only stay for up to 90 days per visit.


You are eligible to apply for a business visa for Australia if you hold a valid passport from any of the following countries.


If you have any questions please contact one of our business visa specialists.
