Transit through Australia

Transit Visa Subclass 771 guidance

Support for travellers passing through Australia on the way to another country.

The Transit Visa Subclass 771 allows travellers to transit Australia for up to 72 hours on the way to another country. It may also be used if a person needs to join a ship as crew.

Check Transit Requirement

Who this visa may suit

For travellers connecting through Australia

This visa may suit travellers who need to pass through Australia and are not eligible to transit without a visa, or whose travel route requires them to clear immigration.

Transit without visa check

Some travellers may not need a transit visa

Home Affairs states that some eligible travellers can transit Australia without a visa if they meet all required conditions. This should be checked carefully before travel.

Airport and route planning

Airport arrangements can affect visa need

Australian airports may have limited transit facilities, and airport limitations can mean a traveller needs a visa to clear immigration even if other transit-without-visa conditions appear to be met.

Evidence to prepare

A transit case should prove onward travel

01 Passport

02 Confirmed onward ticket

03 Visa for destination country, if required

04 Travel itinerary

05 Ship crew documents, if applicable

06 Explanation of transit route

Monish Kumar

I had an amazing experience working with Visawizer for my wife's visa application. Although having previous history of rejections Mr. Ankur assured us the partner will be a success since it was applied with a lot of care and taking small details into consideration. I am really thankful to Ankur for the endless support for the success and my lovely wife will be joining me soon from Fiji. A 100% recommended for anyone trying for visa no matter how complicated it is Visawizer will always find a way towards success. Thank you.
