Do Türkiye passport holders need a visa to visit Australia?

Türkiye ordinary passport holders need a visa before flying to Australia. Turkish nationals are not eligible for the ETA (subclass 601) or eVisitor (subclass 651), so you must apply online for the Visitor visa (subclass 600) Tourist stream via ImmiAccount. Australia does not grant visa-free entry, ETA, or visa-on-arrival to Türkiye passport holders. The Electronic Travel Authority (subclass 601) is restricted to a fixed list of passports (US, UK, Japan, South Korea, Canada, Singapore, most EU/Schengen states, etc.), and the eVisitor (subclass 651) is limited to European countries — neither includes Türkiye. Turkish citizens must therefore lodge a Visitor visa (subclass 600) in the Tourist stream, applied for online from outside Australia through an ImmiAccount before travel. The visa is a label-free electronic authorisation linked to your passport. The base application charge is AUD 200 (offshore). Decisions usually grant a stay of 3 months, though 6 or 12 months may be granted in some cases, and the visa is commonly issued with multiple entries valid up to 12 months from grant. Applicants must show genuine temporary visitor intent, sufficient funds, and meet health and character requirements. Processing for the Tourist stream typically runs from about 2 weeks to roughly a month, so apply well ahead of departure. For residents of Türkiye, tourist applications are handled through the Department of Home Affairs (online), with the Australian Embassy in Ankara covering the region.
