What is the Australian ETA for South Korean citizens?

The ETA (subclass 601) is not technically a visa but acts similarly. It’s an electronic travel authorization that allows eligible South Korean nationals to visit Australia for up to 90 days per entry for tourism or business purposes. The ETA is fully digital, linked directly to your passport, eliminating the need for physical documents, stamps, or stickers.

This travel document is ideal for short-term stays and does not permit work or paid employment in Australia. Instead, it’s designed for those wanting to experience Australia’s beauty without the complex visa process.
