The Australia eVisitor (Subclass 651) is specifically designed for passport holders of the 27 European Union member states, EFTA countries (Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway, Switzerland), Andorra, Monaco, San Marino, Vatican City, and full British Citizen (GBR) passports. While both Subclass 651 and Subclass 601 grant 12-month multiple-entry validity with stays up to 3 months per visit, European and UK citizens are routed to Subclass 651.

No. Under Australian Department of Home Affairs regulations, the eVisitor (Subclass 651) applies strictly to passports bearing the national status 'British Citizen' (GBR). Holders of British National (Overseas) — BN(O) — passports are not eligible for Subclass 651 and must instead apply for the Australian Electronic Travel Authority (Subclass 601).

No private agency or third-party facilitator can guarantee visa or eVisitor approval. All immigration decisions rest exclusively with the Department of Home Affairs of the Australian Government. NomadicMart is an independent application concierge service not affiliated with the Australian Government or immi.homeaffairs.gov.au. While the government charges no base fee on ImmiAccount, our service fee covers expert document verification and 24/7 assistance.

You cannot hold an eVisitor (Subclass 651) if you have ever been convicted of a criminal offense in any country where the sentence—whether served or suspended—totaled 12 months or more. Travelers with criminal convictions reaching this threshold must apply for a standard Australian Visitor Visa (Subclass 600) with police certificates and character disclosures.

An approved eVisitor (Subclass 651) allows you to visit Australia for tourism, cruises, holidays, visiting family or friends, unpaid study or training for up to 3 months, and business visitor activities such as attending conferences, trade fairs, or contract negotiations. Paid work for an Australian employer or selling goods/services to the public is prohibited.
