Egyptian nationals are not eligible for the free eVisitor and must apply for a Visitor visa (subclass 600) to travel to Australia.
Australia grants no visa-free access to Egyptian travellers: the Egyptian passport does not qualify for the eVisitor, which is reserved for certain European countries. The Visitor visa (subclass 600), tourist stream, is applied for entirely online through the Department of Home Affairs before departure, as Australia does not issue visas on arrival.
