Singapore ordinary passport holders need an Electronic Travel Authority (ETA, subclass 601) before flying to Australia for tourism — there is no visa-free entry, but the ETA is fast, low-cost, and applied for via the official Australian ETA app. Singapore is on Australia's list of ETA-eligible passports, so Singapore citizens cannot enter Australia visa-free. For tourism, visiting family, cruising, or business visitor activities of up to 3 months per visit, you must hold a granted Electronic Travel Authority (subclass 601) electronically linked to your passport before travel. Home Affairs says ETA-eligible passport holders must use the Australian ETA app; eligible travel industry representatives can also assist through the app. The app charges a non-refundable AUD 20 service fee, and there is no other ETA charge. In most cases Home Affairs notifies applicants of the result immediately, but processing can take longer if the application is incomplete, more information is needed, or information is hard to verify; do not make travel arrangements until the ETA is granted. Once granted, the ETA is valid for 12 months (or until passport expiry, whichever is first) and permits multiple entries, each stay capped at 3 months. The ETA does not permit paid work and only allows study or training for up to 3 months. If you need stays longer than 3 months at a time or a long-validity visitor option, Singapore citizens are listed as eligible for the Visitor visa (subclass 600) Frequent traveller stream, which can be granted for up to 10 years while still limiting each stay to 3 months.
