Mexico to Australia visa requirements

Mexican passport holders need a visa before travelling to Australia. They are not eligible for the ETA or eVisitor, so they should apply online for the Visitor visa (subclass 600), Tourist stream, from outside Australia before departure. Mexico is not on Australia's ETA (subclass 601) or eVisitor (subclass 651) eligible passport lists, so neither online travel authority is available to Mexican citizens. To visit Australia for tourism, a cruise or family/friend visits, an ordinary Mexican passport holder generally uses the Visitor visa (subclass 600), Tourist stream (apply outside Australia), lodged online before departure through ImmiAccount. The current base application charge for the offshore Tourist stream is AUD 200. Home Affairs lists this stream as allowing stays up to 12 months, but the stay period and whether the visa is single or multiple entry are decided case by case and shown on the visa grant letter; Home Affairs says it generally grants 3 months and may grant up to 12 months in certain circumstances. Processing times should be checked with the official visa processing times guide, which is indicative only and not a guarantee for a specific application. Apply well before travel and do not book non-refundable travel until the visa is granted.
