Your ETA will be verified automatically when you check in for your flight to Australia and by an Australian Immigration officer when you arrive.
The ETA Tourist visa is for tourists and travellers, and is valid for a maximum stay in Australia of 3 months. To apply for an ETA Tourist Visa, you must also hold a passport from an eligible country.
The Long-Stay Tourist Visa allows travellers to stay in Australia for up to 12 months, depending on the length applied for and that you hold a passport from an eligible country. Online applications are below.
