The Digital Travel Authorization (subclass 601) is a streamlined electronic visa connected to the applicant’s passport, intended specifically for tourism and business visits
Those who wish to go on vacation, engage in leisure pursuits, or spend time with friends and family in Australia should apply for the Tourist Digital Travel Visa. This visa remains valid for 12 months and permits several entries, each for a stay of up to 90 days
The Business Digital Travel Visa is crafted for individuals intending to engage in business-related activities in Australia. This includes participation in conferences, expos, or workshops, seeking employment opportunities, and the exploration, negotiation, signing, or modification of business agreements. Like the tourist visa, this business visa is valid for one year and also allows for multiple entries with stays of up to three months per visit.
Character Standards Applicants must have a clean criminal record to meet the character standards. Entry into Australia under the Digital Travel Authorization with a criminal history is likely to be denied
Healthcare Coverage Visitors should have adequate health insurance coverage, such as Australia’s Medicare, to manage any health-related expenses during their stay in Australia.
