Australia e-Visa for citizens of Ethiopia: online application, fees and processing time 2026

Yes. Travellers holding an Ethiopia passport must obtain a visa or electronic authorisation online before departing for Australia. A visa on arrival is not available to Ethiopian travellers, so the application must be completed in line with Australian authorities' instructions before travel.

• Agency or online serviceOptional, added on top

The documents to upload and any applicable fees must be checked directly through the official Australian authorities portal or with the relevant embassy. Do not assume that a document, fee, or exemption applies to an Ethiopia passport without official confirmation. Keep copies of the information and documents submitted.

Apply online before departure through the official Australian authorities portal when it is provided. Create or access the required application record, enter all information accurately, and submit the requested items. If no official link is available, consult the official portal or the relevant embassy for the application route.

The regime follows your nationality, not where you live. If you reside in Ethiopia but travel on another country's passport, the rule on this page is not yours. Filing usually still happens from your country of residence, at the post competent for it, but the requirement itself comes from your passport.

Submit the online application before departure and wait for the required decision or authorisation before arranging travel to Australia. No processing time is stated here, so consult the official portal or the relevant embassy for current information. The permitted stay can be up to 3 months.

Do not use an unofficial intermediary website without checking its status, as such services can add extra charges. Do not travel expecting to apply for a visa on arrival, because that option is not available to holders of an Ethiopia passport. Review all entered information before submitting the application.
