Visas

 

Visas are required for all travel to Australia. British citizens can obtain the following types of electronic visitor visa:

Passport Validity

 

Australia does not have a minimum passport validity requirement for incoming passengers.  But if you intend onward travel to other countries in the region, please note you are advised that entry into some countries may be refused, and airlines may not carry you, if your passport has less than six months validity.  This also affects passengers transiting some countries en route to/from Australia (i.e. if they pass through immigration and enter the transit country), such as Singapore.  See the Travel Advice for Singapore. For further information on entry requirements you should check with the Embassy or High Commission in London of the country you intend to visit/transit.

Staying in, and leaving, Australia

You should ensure that you hold sufficient funds for the whole of your stay in Australia, and have access to emergency funds in case you do run out of money.  You should also ensure that you have a return or onward air ticket (this is in any case mandatory for certain Australian visa categories).  Do not rely on obtaining money from sources such as tax refunds to fund a return flight.
