Do Brazil passport holders need a visa to visit Australia?

Yes, you need a visa. Brazilian passport holders are not eligible for Australia's ETA or eVisitor, so you must apply online for a Visitor visa (subclass 600) Tourist stream before you travel. Australia requires every foreign visitor to hold a visa or travel authority before arrival, and there is no visa-on-arrival. Brazil is not among the countries eligible for the Electronic Travel Authority (ETA) or the eVisitor — the Australian Embassy in Brazil confirms that "Brazilian passport holders are not eligible to apply for an ETA." The correct pathway for tourism is the Visitor visa (subclass 600) Tourist stream, lodged online through an ImmiAccount before departure. The base application charge rose to AUD 200 on 1 April 2026. Tourist stream visas are typically granted for stays of 3, 6 or 12 months and can be single or multiple entry depending on what the case officer decides. Most applications are decided within about a month, but you should apply 4-6 weeks ahead. Beware of third-party sites claiming Brazilians get 90 days visa-free entry — this is incorrect; a visa is mandatory.
