Brazil to Australia visa requirements

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. Brazilian visitors must hold an Australian visa or travel authority before arrival, and there is no visa-on-arrival pathway for Brazilian ordinary passport holders. Brazil is not among the countries listed by Home Affairs for the Electronic Travel Authority (ETA, subclass 601) or the eVisitor (subclass 651), and the Australian Embassy in Brazil separately confirms that Brazilian passport holders are not eligible to apply for an ETA unless they also hold an ETA-eligible passport. The correct pathway for ordinary tourism, cruises, visiting family or friends, and other short non-work visits is the Visitor visa (subclass 600) Tourist stream, lodged online through ImmiAccount before departure. The current base application charge is from AUD 200. Home Affairs says this stream can allow stays up to 12 months, but the usual grant is 3 months, with the stay period and single- or multiple-entry permission decided case by case and shown on the grant letter. Processing times must be checked in the Home Affairs processing-time guide; they are indicative only and can change with document completeness, health/character checks, local delays, or further-information requests, so apply well before travel. Beware of third-party sites claiming Brazilians get 90 days visa-free entry — this is incorrect; a visa is mandatory.
