How to Apply for an Australia Tourist Visa in Singapore
If you’ve set your sights on visiting Australia this year, whether for a holiday vacation or a short visit to a relative or friend , then you need to first process your tourist visa before you get packing and head your way to the land from down under.
For starters, there are various kinds of visas that you can avail depending on your purpose and length of stay in Australia. But if you’re a Singapore passport holder, you are eligible to apply for an ETA visa (Subclass 601), otherwise, foreign nationals or expats living in Singapore can apply for a visit (Subclass e600) visa online through ImmiAccount or through the Australian Visa Application Centre (AVAC).

Applying for an Australian Tourist Visa – Step By Step Process:
Here are the steps and requirements for your Australian tourist visa application through the Australian Visa Application Centre (AVAC):
Requirements:
For the specified reason/s above- classified under Subclass 600 , all those who wish to visit Australia are required to completely fill out form 1419 which you can download here along with a copy of the Subclass 600 checklist which you can get here to apply for an Australian tourist visa. Also, consider preparing your visa application by as early as 3 months before your target travel date.
You will also need the following documents to support your tourist visa application:
- Important for first-time visitors to Australia : Prepare copies of your passport’s travel pages to establish your travel records and history.
- Provide any of the following: National Registration ID Card (NRIC) , Employment Pass, Social Visit Pass, Dependent Pass, Student Pass, or Work Permit
- A passport size photograph
- Note: It is best to wait for your visa to be approved first prior paying for your flight ticket to avoid any difficulties.
- For employed individuals: a letter from your employer indicating your employment status, your length of employment, salary and position, your approved leave dates, and whether your leave is compensated or not. If you plan to go on an extended leave from work, the letter should also indicate if your job would still be available to you on your return (specify business registration, if applicable). For those who have just recently started with a new job, consider preparing a similar document to support your recent employment and salary history.
- If you are unemployed and are married: present your marriage certificate, and documents that will serve as proof of your spouse’s employment status and income (as detailed in the previous point)
- If married or in a de facto spouse relationship where your spouse is also not concurrently applying for visa: prepare a copy of your spouse’s passport’s identity page.
Procedures:
- Identify the visa subclass that is appropriate for the purpose of your visit in Australia.
- Prepare all the required documents to support your application.
Note: Make sure to submit all supporting documents at the time of your application to avoid unnecessary delays .
- Prepare your payments for your application as well as for the service charges. To check the updated list of visa application fees and service charges, check out the VFS Global Website .
- Set an appointment online to submit your visa application and requirements (including your biometric data) at the AVAC.
Note: Applications sent by mail or through courier do not need to have an appointment schedule.
- Submit your visa application either by mail or in person. The Australian Visa Application Cantre can be located at:
135 Cecil Street #08-01 MYP Plaza Singapore 069536
As mentioned, filing your visa application should be done at least two months before your travel date. It’s also important that you turn in all the required documents at the time of your application.
And as a final tip: Remember that the seasons in Australia are quite the opposite from the Northern hemisphere so be properly advised.

Australian Visa Information
Unless you are an Australian citizen, you will need a valid Australian visa to enter the country. New Zealand passport holders can apply for a visa upon arrival in the country. All other passport holders, regardless of age, must apply for a visa before leaving home. You can apply for a range of Australian visa types, including tourist visas and working holiday visas, via the ETA app or on the Department of Home Affairs website.
There are different Australian visa types available for travellers to Australia. Knowing which Australian visa to apply for depends on the length of your stay, your passport and the purpose of your visit. You’ll also need to meet certain financial and medical requirements, be outside of Australia when applying and maintain health insurance for the duration of your stay.
Electronic Travel Authority visa (subclass 601) This visa allows you to visit Australia as many times as you want, for up to a year, and stay for three months each visit. This visa is available to passport holders from a number of countries and regions, who live outside Australia. A step-by-step guide on how to apply is here .
All ETA-eligible passport holders must apply for an ETA using the Australian ETA app. Agents can assist you in the application process, but you must be physically present as a live facial image is required.
eVisitor (subclass 651) This is a free visa for multiple visits to Australia for tourism or business purposes for up to three months at a time within a 12-month period. This visa is available to passport holders from a number of European countries and it cannot be extended.
Visitor visa (subclass 600) The Visitor visa allows you to visit Australia, either for tourism or business purposes. It is open to all nationalities. Generally, a period of stay of up to three months is granted, but up to 12 months may be granted in certain circumstances. Applicants will have to pay a fee to submit their application.
The application process may differ depending on which visa you need.
You can only apply for the Electronic Travel Authority visa (subclass 601) through the Australian ETA app. A step-by-step guide on how to apply is located here .
For other visas, you can apply online by creating an ImmiAccount and completing the application process. Be sure to submit your application well in advance of your travel date to allow enough time for processing. You may be asked to provide further supporting information. You will be notified in writing if your tourist visa is approved and it will be digitally linked to your passport. For more information on different visa types, and Australian visa requirements including how to apply for an Australian visa, visit the Department of Home Affairs website.
If you are already in Australia and hold a valid Electronic Travel Authority visa (subclass 601) you can extend your stay by applying for another visa, such as a Visitor visa (subclass 600). An eVisitor (subclass 651) cannot be extended.
See the Department of Home Affairs website for details.

Can Singaporeans use an ETA to work in Australia?

Visa Requirements
A Singapore visa is not an immigration pass. It is a pre-entry permission for the holder of a valid Singapore visa to travel to, and seek entry, into Singapore. The grant of an immigration pass will be determined by the ICA officers at the point of entry. Possession of a valid visa alone does not guarantee entry into Singapore.
The period of stay granted is shown on the visit pass endorsement given on your passport and it is not tied to the validity of your visa.

Do this at least 8 weeks before you leave.

Australians now have visa-free travel to China, but how can they pay in an increasingly cashless society?
Starting this month, Australian travellers can visit China for 15 days without a visa.
The authorities are also taking steps to make it easier for foreigners to pay for goods and services in the increasingly cashless country by letting them link their foreign bank cards with Chinese payment platforms.
What's next?
The government is promising to simplify the identity verification process and better protect personal information while also telling payment solution providers to increase transaction limits for foreigners.
Louis Quinn's last few trips to China featured all the classic activities: tasting various cuisines, road-tripping, and exploring local markets.
He even joined in a gig with local musicians.
Mr Quinn has been to Shanghai, Xi'an, Dali, and Guyuan in the past few years.
"It's more fun to go to the smaller cities," the 33-year-old Melburnian told the ABC.
Now, thanks to a new policy announced by Chinese Premier Li Qiang during his visit to Australia last month, visiting China is much easier for tourists like Mr Quinn.
Starting this month, Australians travelling to China no longer need to apply for a visa, provided that their stay is up to 15 days.
Brian King, a tourism expert from Texas A&M University, said the initiative could be viewed as part of China's wider agenda to stimulate the services sector.
"The relaxation in visa requirements can potentially stimulate inbound tourism and boost revenues," Professor King told the ABC.
But while the visa waiver programme has eliminated an extra expense and hassle for foreign travellers to China, some challenges and inconveniences remain.
Cash replaced by QR codes
China's payment system is dominated by the two most popular platforms, Alipay and WeChat, which until recently required a local bank account.
Whether it's for everyday shopping, eating out, taking a taxi or even paying utility and phone bills, these two platforms have largely eliminated banknotes from Chinese daily life in just a few years, replacing cash with QR codes.
While in theory, shops and service providers should also accept cash and bank cards, in practice they often don't keep enough change for large notes and are reluctant to accept cards which incur extra charges on the vendor.
Tencent recently announced WeChat's monthly active users almost reached 1.36 billion meanwhile Alipay claims it has 1.2 billion users globally and nearly 660 million monthly active users in China.
Despite the convenience and efficiency that a cashless lifestyle brings, it can also pose difficulties for international travellers.
Melissa Sanders said that when she went to China she wasn't able to get a Chinese bank account or use the local payment platforms.
This meant the 20-year-old Victorian was unable to do things like order food from popular delivery services.
Ms Sanders said some places where she stayed in China were either cash-only or mobile payments-only.
"So even if I had a debit card, I couldn't use it," she said.
In those cases, she had to rely on her Chinese friends to pay and give money back to them later.
The Chinese authorities are addressing the issues.
As a surge in foreign travellers helps the country's tourism sector to rebound from its plunge during the pandemic, the People's Bank of China (PBOC) released a step-by-step guide in May to help foreign tourists access China's payment services.
The central bank is also allowing people to link their overseas bank cards with Alipay and WeChat Pay, promising to simplify the identity verification process and better protect personal information and telling payment solution providers to raise the single and daily transaction limits for foreigners.
More guidance still needed
In the past few trips, Mr Quinn has had a chance to use the mobile payment systems.
He used both Alipay and WeChat to pay for daily groceries and meals in restaurants but said the system wasn't seamless.
"I went through the whole thing of putting my Visa card into Alipay and WeChat," he said.
"I found Alipay was easier, it would reject me less and just sort of work more often."
On a trip from Guyuan, a city in north-western China, to Xi'an, he found he was unable to pay about 1,000 yuan ($200) for a bus ticket with his phone, because of a transaction limit and verification issues.
"It's pretty annoying because the bus driver is sitting there waiting for you. And you're just like, 'oh, hold on, I gotta verify with my bank'," he said.
As a result, Mr Quinn had to ask his friend to pay for the ticket.
In addition to the technical hurdles, data security and privacy concerns are also among the biggest worries for foreign travellers using Chinese mobile payment platforms.
According to a mobile payment survey conducted by Statista , about 59 per cent of respondents stated that they worried about the security of their personal information when using mobile payments.
Against that backdrop, China's newly updated counter-espionage law that came into effect on Monday has widened the authorities' powers to inspect smartphones and other electronic devices.
State security authorities can now check luggage and electronic devices based solely on suspicion of espionage, a move that's likely to deepen foreign tourists' concerns when filling out personal information to register payment apps.
Sam Huang, from Edith Cowan University, said the technical issues to make travel in China easier could be "resolved fairly easily".
"But the hurdles related to ideological considerations, or societal and security control, may not be easily removed in a short period of time," Professor Huang said.
These concerns have not dissuaded Mr Quinn's family from visiting China again.
His parents are now planning their next China trip hoping there will be an easier payment solution for foreigners and elderly people by then.
"[My parents] probably could figure out a city's metro, but I think booking a bullet train themselves would be too hard," Mr Quinn said.
He said under the current system it would still be difficult for his parents to go on a tour by themselves, even if he sets up WeChat Pay or Alipay in advance.
"It's not easy for 60-year-olds. They would still just use cash everywhere," he said.
"If [China] wants to be cashless, then they have to support foreigners to do that."
