Thailand to Australia visa requirements

Thai ordinary passport holders need a visa before traveling to Australia. The standard tourism route is the Visitor visa (subclass 600) Tourist stream via ImmiAccount; eligible frequent Thai travellers can also consider the subclass 600 Frequent traveller stream. As of 2026-06-20, Thailand is not on Australia's ETA (subclass 601) or eVisitor (subclass 651) eligible passport lists, so Thai ordinary passport holders need a visa before travel. The standard route for tourism, cruises, or visiting family/friends is the Visitor visa (subclass 600) Tourist stream, applied for online through ImmiAccount while outside Australia. The Tourist stream charge starts from AUD 200. Home Affairs sets the stay period, entries and conditions on the visa grant letter; Tourist stream grants are generally for 3 months, with up to 12 months possible in some circumstances, and may be single or multiple entry. Applicants must be genuine visitors, have enough funds, and must not work; study or training is limited to up to 3 months. Thai applicants should expect biometrics after ImmiAccount notification, and health checks or translated documents may be requested. Home Affairs processing times are indicative only and should be checked in the official guide. A separate subclass 600 Frequent traveller stream is available to eligible frequent Thai travellers, can be granted for up to 10 years, and allows stays of up to 3 months each entry with a maximum 12 months in any 24-month period.
