An eVisitor Visa allows you to stay in Australia for up to 3 months on each arrival within 12 months from the date the visa was granted. The visa is issued and linked to your passport number. If your passport is lost, stolen or replaced before you travel to Australia, you will be required to re-apply for an eVisitor visa. Your passport must be valid for 6 months from your return date of travel.
