Your Australia Visitor Visa guide for Chinese citizens

Do Chinese citizens need a visa for Australia?

Yes, Chinese travelers need a visa to visit Australia. For tourism or business visits, the Australia Visitor Visa is the only option currently available for Chinese citizens, with most application steps completed online. Other visas, like the ETA and eVisitor Visa, are not available for Chinese passport holders now. If your purpose is to work, study, or live permanently in Australia, there are other visa options available, which must be applied for through the Australian Embassy.
