Help when applying for an ETA

I applied for an ETA. I received a message to contact the nearest Australian mission.

Please ensure you have applied for an ETA through the Australian ETA App. This is the only method of applying for an ETA.

My Electronic Travel Authority (ETA) or visa is about to expire. I wish to stay longer in Australia.

You must apply for a new visa if you plan to stay longer in Australia.

You cannot apply for a further ETA while in Australia.

If you are currently in Australia and your ETA is due to expire, you may be eligible for such visa options as the Visitor visa (subclass 600).

For more information on how to stay longer in Australia, see Your visa is expiring or has expired.

I was granted an ETA with wrong information (for example, wrong spelling of name, date of birth)

We cannot correct or change information after the ETA is granted; please apply for a new ETA with correct information.

Please note that your new ETA does not cancel the old one, which means your old ETA with the wrong information will still appear on the ETA system.

You do not need to contact us about this, and you will be able to travel to Australia without any problems.

When I applied for an ETA, I answered ‘Yes’ to the criminal convictions question and my ETA was not approved

You should provide a police certificate showing your criminal history from your country of usual residence and attach a copy of your passport.
