Travelling to Australia
Migration and visas
All travellers and intending migrants, except New Zealand citizens, must obtain a visa or electronic travel authority before travelling to Australia.
Customs and quarantine
The Australian Customs Service manages the security and integrity of the Australian border and assists people and cargo to move in and out of the country.
Check here for information about what items must be declared for quarantine inspection, what happens if you fail to declare or dispose of any quarantine items or make a false declaration, and what happens to seized items. Click here for information about what must not be mailed to Australia.
