Visa Travel Advice for Maltese Nationals travelling to Australia
Maltese nationals require an Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA) prior to travelling to Australia for tourism purposes. Kindly note that an ETA is not a visa, but merely informs Australia’s Department for Immigration and Border Protection of one’s arrival. In order to apply for an Electronic Travel Authorisation, you are required to create an Immi account prior to starting your application. Please follow this link:- https://online.immi.gov.au/lusc/login or alternatively, http://www.border.gov.au/Trav/Visa1/651-#tab-content-1
An ETA provides authorisation to travel to and enter Australia for short term stays for tourism or business visitor activities such as attending a conference, making business enquiries, or for contractual negotiations and is electronically linked to your passport.
Once an ETA is obtained, one can stay in Australia for a maximum of three months (90days) on each visit. After an ETA is granted one will be able to enter and leave Australia as many times as one needs during a 12 month period, from the date the ETA is granted or until the expiry date of one’s passport, whichever is earlier.
An ETA is not a work visa.
If you would like to work in Australia you can use the Australian Department for Immigration and Border Protection Visa Finder to search for a visa that is suitable for you, visit www.border.gov.au/trav/visa-1
