Bee Guy Posted February 27, 2019 #1 Share Posted February 27, 2019 Not sure if this has been discussed, but I want to be clear on what travel documentation will be required to enter Australia. Last time we went we arrived in Sydney by air and had an ETA (electronic travel authorization) I believe that since we are arriving by cruise ship that this time a Visa is required. Is that correct? Can a visa be added to your (US) passport electronically? (Just read an article stating that 800 US passengers on a cruise were not aware of the visa requirement and I do not want to be included in that group.) 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Big_M Posted February 27, 2019 #2 Share Posted February 27, 2019 An ETA is not restricted to air entry. If you qualify for an ETA otherwise, entering by ship is fine with one. I suspect the article is speaking figuratively about a visa, although the number surprises me. When I sailed to the US, there were equally Australians who at the port didn't realise they needed to get a visa/ESTA to enter the US... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare MicCanberra Posted February 27, 2019 #4 Share Posted February 27, 2019 For short stay tourism purposes an ETA is all that is required as opposed to a Visa which is needed for all other types of visits. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
