Australia Visa Application
EU visitors to benefit from fee-free visas
From 1 July 2007, EU citizens can obtain electronic Tourist visas and Business Short Stay Visas without paying an application charge. These arrangements will be available to EU citizens staying in Australia for up to three months.
"These changes will foster a closer relationship between Australia and EU countries and will vastly improve client service for travellers from the EU," Ms Gambaro said.
New EU member countries who will also benefit from the new arrangements are Bulgaria, Cyprus, the Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Malta, Poland, Romania, Slovakia and Slovenia.
The Department of Immigration and Citizenship has already taken steps to ensure the application process is faster and more convenient for EU citizens. The online Tourist visa lodgement facility (known as e676) is already available to all EU visitors and allows many travellers to obtain visas without the need to attend an Australian overseas mission, which reduces visa processing times significantly.
"This initiative is an important step in the Australian Government's commitment to ensuring visa reciprocity with the EU and treating all member states equally," Ms Gambaro said.
Australia's tourism industry continues to benefit from steady increases in the number of EU visitors. In 2005-06, there were more than 23 000 arrivals from the 12 new EU member states, an increase of 24 per cent compared to arrivals in 2003-04.
