Australia Visitor Visa for Turkey Citizens
What is an Australia Visitor Visa?
An Australia Visitor Visa is a type of visa that allows citizens of Turkey to travel to Australia for tourism or business purposes. It is valid for up to 12 months and can be used for multiple entries into the country. The visa also allows holders to study in Australia for up to three months.
The eTA Australia (Electronic Travel Authority) is an online visa waiver program that allows eligible citizens from certain countries, including Turkey, to enter Australia without applying for a visa. To apply for an eTA, you must have a valid passport and credit card. You can apply for an eTA here.
