Türkiye to Australia visa requirements

Türkiye ordinary passport holders need a visa before travelling to Australia. Turkish nationals are not eligible for the ETA (subclass 601) or eVisitor (subclass 651), so the usual tourism route is the Visitor visa (subclass 600) Tourist stream, lodged online from outside Australia. Australia does not grant visa-free entry, ETA, or visa-on-arrival to Türkiye ordinary passport holders. The Electronic Travel Authority (subclass 601) is restricted to a fixed passport list that does not include Türkiye, and the eVisitor (subclass 651) country list also excludes Türkiye. Turkish citizens should therefore apply for the Visitor visa (subclass 600) Tourist stream online through ImmiAccount before travel and must be outside Australia when applying and when the visa is decided. The visa is electronically linked to the passport and is not issued as a physical label. The current base application charge for the offshore Tourist stream is AUD 200.00 per applicant. Home Affairs can grant single or multiple entry; the stay period is case-by-case, generally 3 months, with up to 12 months possible in some circumstances. Applicants must show genuine temporary visitor intent, sufficient funds, and meet health and character requirements. Current Home Affairs global processing data for subclass 600 Tourist applications updated 25 May 2026 shows 25% processed in 7 days, 50% in 18 days, 75% in 23 days, and 90% in 31 days, but this is only an indicative guide and individual applications can take longer. Biometrics may be requested; if so, Türkiye applicants attend an Australian Biometric Collection Centre and pay the centre's service fee, or may be able to use the Australian Immi App if eligible.
