Do Japanese citizens need a visa for Australia?

ETA required

You need an electronic travel authorisation (ETA). Japanese citizens don’t need a full visa for Australia, but must get online approval before travelling.

Data refreshed 24 Oct 2026. Rules change — confirm with the official sources before you book.

How to get permission to enter

  1. Apply online on the official government website before you book or fly.
  2. The authorisation is linked to your passport — travel with the same passport you applied with.
  3. Most decisions arrive within minutes to a few days; apply at least a week ahead.
