- The application, the supporting documents and the payment all go through the official portal, from any country.

- The authorisation arrives by email. Keep a printed copy, some airlines ask for it at boarding.
Using an online service
You never have to use an intermediary. If you would rather have a service fill in and file the application online for you before departure, iVisa does it for a service fee, charged on top of the official fees. It does not change the decision.

You live in Greece on another passport?
The regime follows your nationality, not where you live. If you reside in Greece 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.

Tips to extend your stay in Australia
- eVisitor and ETA visas are not extendable: to stay longer, leave Australia and apply for a new visa from abroad.
- For a longer stay, consider the Visitor visa (subclass 600), which can be extended under conditions.
- Carefully prepare your application with all required documents to avoid refusals or delays.
- Obtain health insurance covering the entire stay.
- Apply for your visa at least one week before departure to avoid stress related to processing times.
A Greek tourist wishing to stay 3 months can apply for a free eVisitor online 2 to 4 days before departure. If they wish to extend their stay, they must leave Australia and apply for a standard Visitor visa from abroad.
