Getting the ETA (subclass 601) is a three-stage process which goes as follows:
STEP 1: Consult with our Agents to determine your eligibility for a Subclass 601 visa.
To begin your application, our Registered Migration Agents will assess your eligibility for the visa.
STEP 2: Gather your Documents
After determining your eligibility for a 601 visa, our agents will apply for the visa, using the ETA app.
STEP 3: Apply for Visa & Wait for Visa Grant
We may advise you to undertake health or police checks, if it is required for your application.
In most cases, you will be notified of the result of your ETA application immediately. Sometimes there will be a delay (of up to 12 hours) before receiving your notification. Check your emails, including your junk mail folder, for a written notification from the Department.
If you have a criminal conviction in any country, the Department will need more information from you. You should apply for a Subclass 600 visa instead and provide evidence about your criminal convictions
