Indonesia to Australia visa requirements

Indonesian ordinary passport holders need a visa before travelling to Australia. Indonesia is not eligible for the ETA (601) or the free eVisitor (651), so tourists normally apply online for a Visitor visa (subclass 600), Tourist stream, through ImmiAccount before departure. There is no visa-free, visa-on-arrival, ETA, or eVisitor option for Indonesian citizens visiting Australia. The Electronic Travel Authority (subclass 601) is limited to listed passports such as the US, Canada, Japan, South Korea, Singapore, Malaysia, Brunei, Hong Kong and Taiwan, and the free eVisitor (subclass 651) is limited to listed European passports; Indonesia is on neither list. Indonesian travellers must lodge a Visitor visa (subclass 600) Tourist stream application online through ImmiAccount while outside Australia, provide evidence of funds, ties to Indonesia, travel plans and any requested health or biometrics checks, and wait for a grant before boarding. Home Affairs lists the offshore Tourist stream base charge as AUD 200.00. Its processing guide updated 25 May 2026 shows subclass 600 Tourist applications at 25% in 7 days, 50% in 18 days, 75% in 23 days, and 90% in 31 days. Tourist stream grants are case-by-case, generally for 3 months and up to 12 months in some circumstances, and may be single or multiple entry.
