Do I need a visa for Australia from Venezuela?
Discover visa requirements for your trip
Venezuelan nationals must obtain a Visitor visa (subclass 600) to travel to Australia; they are not eligible for the free eVisitor.
Venezuela is not among the countries eligible for the eVisitor or the ETA. A Venezuelan traveller wishing to visit Australia for tourism or a family visit must therefore lodge a Visitor visa (subclass 600) application. The application is made online with the Department of Home Affairs.
Do you need a visa?
Yes. Holders of a Venezuelan passport must obtain a visa before entering Australia. The relevant pathway is the Visitor visa (subclass 600), as Venezuela is eligible for neither the free eVisitor nor the ETA reserved for other nationalities. The visa must be granted before departure.
How and where to apply
Apply online through an ImmiAccount on the Department of Home Affairs portal (immi.homeaffairs.gov.au). The Venezuelan applicant completes the subclass 600 form, uploads supporting documents and pays the fee. Biometrics may be required at an authorised centre depending on the place of residence.
Documents and fees
Prepare a valid Venezuelan passport, proof of sufficient funds, a travel plan, evidence of ties to Venezuela (employment, family, property) and, where relevant, an invitation letter. The visa fee is not stated here: check the official schedule on immi.homeaffairs.gov.au before paying, as it changes periodically.
Processing and tips
Processing times depend on volume and how complete the file is; check the Department of Home Affairs processing indicator. Lodge the application well ahead and avoid buying a non-refundable ticket before a decision. Clearly showing an intention to return (strong ties to Venezuela) is decisive for a visitor visa.
Common mistakes
Do not assume the eVisitor or ETA applies to you: these facilities are not open to Venezuelan nationals. Do not underestimate proof of funds and ties to the home country, which are often central to refusals. Finally, make sure documents are translated and consistent with the form.
