Do I need a visa for Australia from Turkey?
Discover visa requirements for your trip
Turkish travellers must obtain a Visitor visa (subclass 600) to visit Australia; Turkey is not eligible for the free eVisitor. The application is made online, with no visa on arrival.
Unlike nationals of many European countries, holders of a Turkish passport cannot use eVisitor and must apply for a Visitor visa (subclass 600) for tourism in Australia. The application is lodged online with the Department of Home Affairs, from Turkey. This guide explains the steps and points you to the official portal for fees and timelines.
Do you need a visa?
Yes. A Turkish national must obtain a Visitor visa (subclass 600) to enter Australia as a tourist. Turkey is not among the countries eligible for the free eVisitor, and there is no visa on arrival: the visa must be granted before departure.
How and where to apply
The application is made online through ImmiAccount on the Department of Home Affairs website (immi.homeaffairs.gov.au). You create an account, complete the Visitor 600 form in the tourist stream and upload your supporting documents. No embassy visit is needed to lodge, though biometrics may be requested.
Documents and fees
Prepare a valid Turkish passport, an ID photo, a travel itinerary, evidence of funds and sufficient ties to Turkey (employment, family). The application charge and payment methods are set by the Department of Home Affairs: check the official portal for the exact amount, as it is not fixed in this guide.
Processing and tips
Processing times vary with application volumes and how complete your file is; rely on the estimator on the official portal rather than a fixed figure. Apply well ahead of your intended travel date and provide clear documents to avoid requests for more information. Do not make firm travel commitments before the visa is granted.
Common mistakes
The most common error is wrongly assuming Turkey qualifies for eVisitor or an ETA: it does not, only the subclass 600 applies. Avoid incomplete files, insufficient proof of funds, or a passport with too little validity. Always check the fee amount on the official portal before paying.
