Australian eVisitor Visa for Citizens of Spain

The Australian Home Office requires Spanish nationals to obtain an Australian visa before traveling to the country.

In order to apply for an Australian eVisitor visa, Spanish citizens will need to adhere to the following passport requirements before beginning the application process, including:

• A valid passport issued by the Kingdom of Spain
• The validity of the passport must extend at least 6 months from the date of application
• At least 2 blank pages for entry/exit stamps

Travelers from Spain whose passports are set to expire in 6 months or less should consider renewing their passport before beginning the application process.

Spanish passport holders who are dual citizens, should note that the Australian eVisitor visa is electronically connected to the passport they use to apply for the visa and that only that passport can be used to enter Australia.

Spanish travelers interested in visiting Australia with their family members will need to submit a separate Australian eVisitor visa for each member of the family including each child listed on their passport.

Citizens of Spain can apply for the Australian eVisitor visa by completing a simple online application with their personal information and passport details, including the following:

• Full name
• Nationality
• Passport number
• Passport issue and expiry dates
• Contact email address

The online form for the Australia eVisitor visa is straightforward and takes a matter of minutes to fill out. The Spanish traveler must then submit the application and pay the processing fee. The approved visa will be received at the email address provided on the form.

Spanish travelers that have submitted a completed Australian eVisitor visa application can expect to receive an update on the status of their pending application within 3 business days.

National holidays and weekends can impact the exact time required for processing. Additionally, high volumes of applications may cause delays. However, on average, Spanish applicants receive their visa within 3 business days of submitting their application and many are processed even sooner.

The Australia eVisitor visa will be sent to the Spanish applicant securely by email. Although the eVisitor is electronically linked to the passport registered in the application, travelers are advised to print out a copy of the visa as well.

The Australian eVisitor visa grants Spanish travelers multiple entries into the country and is valid for 12 months from the date it is issued to the traveler. Travelers have a maximum length of stay of 3 months upon each entry.
