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.
