If you want to work in Australia, you will need to apply for a different visa.

Yes, you can study or train for up to 3 months.
However:
- If your main purpose is study, you should apply for a Student Visa.

Yes. Every traveller, including children and infants, must apply for their own eVisitor Visa. Parents or guardians can apply on their behalf.
Can I apply for an eVisitor Visa inside Australia?
No. You must be outside Australia when applying for and when being granted an eVisitor Visa.
What happens if my passport changes?
Your eVisitor Visa is electronically linked to your passport. If your passport is renewed, replaced, or expires, you must apply for a new eVisitor Visa.
What if my eVisitor Visa is refused?
If refused, you may be asked to provide more information or be directed to apply for another visa, such as the Visitor Visa (Subclass 600).
We recommend seeking advice from a registered migration agent if your application is refused.
Do I need health insurance when travelling on an eVisitor Visa?
