Australia eVisitor Visa for Swiss citizens: A complete guide

Do Swiss citizens need a visa to visit Australia?

Yes, Swiss citizens need a visa to visit Australia. However, the good news is that if you’re traveling for tourism, business, or short-term study, you don’t need a traditional paper visa. Instead, you can apply for an Australia eVisitor Visa(subclass 651).

While you can also apply for the Australia ETA(subclass 601), the eVisitor Visa is preferable because it covers more travel purposes and is offered for free by the Australian government. With a 99.9% approval rate, you can feel confident in using our service for a smooth application process.

Difficulty rating: Easy

iVisa pro tip: For a smooth visa approval, ensure that your residence address is accurate and matches your official documents. This helps avoid delays or rejections.
