Gotchas to watch
- Everyone who is not an Australian citizen needs a visa to enter Australia — there is no visa-free entry.
- A visa is permission to travel, not a guarantee of entry — a Border Force officer decides on arrival.
- Apply only through ImmiAccount on the official immi.homeaffairs.gov.au site — avoid paid lookalike sites.
