🇦🇺Australia Visa
Australia requires a visa from Turkish travelers on an ordinary passport, and there's a common mistake here: Turkish passports aren't eligible for the quick ETA or eVisitor schemes. You need a Visitor visa (subclass 600), applied for online, which usually grants a stay of up to 3 months.

Please note: Turkish passports are NOT ELIGIBLE for the low-cost ETA (601) or eVisitor (651) systems, which are available only to specified countries. Turkish citizens need the full Visitor visa (subclass 600), applied for online; biometric information is required, and an approved visa generally permits a stay of up to three months.

How do I apply for the subclass 600 visa?
Online through the Department of Home Affairs' ImmiAccount system. Expect to provide your passport, bank statements, travel plan and accommodation details, and biometrics may be requested. Check the current document list and fee on immi.homeaffairs.gov.au.
How long does the visa take?
Processing ranges from a few days to several weeks depending on demand. Book your flight after approval, or choose a refundable fare.
