Do I need a visa for Australia from Ukraine?
Discover visa requirements for your trip
Ukrainian citizens are not eligible for the free eVisitor and must obtain a Visitor visa (subclass 600) before travelling to Australia.
Ukraine is not on the list of countries that qualify for Australia's electronic eVisitor authorisation (subclass 651) or the ETA. For tourism or a family visit, a Ukrainian traveller must therefore lodge a Visitor visa (subclass 600) application with the Department of Home Affairs. The whole process is done online and must be completed before departure.
Do you need a visa?
Yes. Unlike nationals of many European countries, Ukrainians cannot travel on an eVisitor. The Visitor visa (subclass 600) in the Tourist stream is the standard document for tourism, visiting family or a short business trip. It must be granted before you arrive — there is no visa on arrival for this nationality.
How and where to apply
Applications are lodged online through ImmiAccount, the Department of Home Affairs portal. Create an account, complete the subclass 600 form, upload scanned supporting documents and pay by card. Depending on where you live, you may be asked to provide biometrics at a partner service-delivery centre; follow the instructions generated once your application is submitted.
Documents and fees
Prepare a valid passport, evidence of sufficient funds, your itinerary and bookings, and material showing your intention to return (employment, studies or ties in Ukraine). The application charge is not confirmed in our data: check the current official fee on the Department of Home Affairs website, as it is reviewed regularly.
Processing and tips
No official processing time is confirmed here; it varies with caseload and how complete your file is. Apply several weeks before your intended travel and avoid buying non-refundable tickets before the grant. Make sure your name matches your passport exactly and that any Ukrainian-language documents come with a translation if requested.
Common mistakes
The most frequent error is assuming an eVisitor or ETA is enough — it is not for Ukraine. Weak financial evidence and missing proof of ties to your home country are also common and are classic grounds for refusal. Do not leave it to the last minute, and do not pass off unconfirmed bookings as a final itinerary.
Best time to travel
Australia has diverse climates depending on the region. The optimal travel periods are generally during autumn (March to May) and spring (September to November), when weather conditions are moderate. It is advisable to avoid summer months (December to February) in the south due to high temperatures, and winter (June to August) which can be cold in southern areas.
Main arrival airports
Major international airports in Australia include Sydney Kingsford Smith Airport, Melbourne Tullamarine Airport, and Brisbane International Airport. These hubs handle most international flights from various countries, providing convenient entry points into the country.
Documents to prepare
A valid passport for the duration of the stay is required. The e-visa application must be completed online prior to departure, providing the necessary information. It is also recommended to have proof of return tickets, travel insurance, and supporting documents for accommodation or financial means if requested.
