Australia visa requirements
Travelling to Australia as a British citizen requires a visa. Visitors can get an eVisa (without a fee) from the Department of Immigration and Border Protection. If you need a different type of visa, it's best to contact the Department of Immigration & Border Protection or the Australian High Commission in London.
Upon arrival in Australia, it's common for travellers to show an onward or return ticket and proof that you can finically support yourself during your stay in Australia. Keep these handy as you enter the country to save yourself some time at border control.
Passport validity for Australia travel
While in Australia you must have a valid passport. If your travel itinerary includes a stopover or transit through another country en route to or from Australia, it's crucial to verify the passport and visa requirements for that specific destination.
Other important formalities
Australia has strict rules when it comes to what can be brought in and out of the country. All liquids, gels and aerosols must be in a single, clear plastic bag (no bigger than 80cm e.g. 20x20 or 25x15) and no items larger than 100ml in capacity or 100g in weight.
Regarding powders, travellers are limited to 350g per person in a container with a max capacity of 350ml (this excludes organic items like baby formula and food). While powders in carry-on baggage must undergo security screening, they do not need to be in the clear plastic page with your liquids.
These rules apply to all travellers passing through Australia, whether departing internationally from the country or taking domestic flights within Australia but leaving from an international terminal.
