Do Finland passport holders need a visa to visit Australia?

Finnish passport holders need an eVisitor (subclass 651) — a free, online visa — before flying to Australia for tourism. It allows stays of up to 3 months per visit, multiple entries, and is valid for 12 months. Finland is a European Union member state and Finnish ordinary passport holders are eligible for Australia's eVisitor visa (subclass 651). This is an electronic visa that must be granted before travel — Australia issues no visa-free entry or visa-on-arrival to any nationality. The eVisitor carries no visa application charge when lodged directly through the Department of Home Affairs ImmiAccount portal; third-party agents charge a service fee (often around USD 20). It permits tourism, visiting family or friends, and short business activities (meetings, conferences) for up to 3 months on each arrival, with unlimited entries across a 12-month validity period. It does not permit paid work. You must hold a Finnish passport — Finnish permanent residency alone does not qualify. Most decisions are issued within 1-3 business days, though some take longer, so apply at least a few weeks ahead. Note: ETIAS and Schengen rules do not apply here — those concern travel into Europe, not Australia.
