Visa Information
All delegates will require a visa and valid passport to enter Australia for conferences. All visas must be obtained before your arrival in Australia. The only exceptions are Australian and New Zealand citizens travelling on passports issued by these countries - these delegates do not require visas.
Australia has a non-discriminatory visa policy and most delegates can take advantage of the very quick and efficient Australian Electronic Travel Authority (ETA) system. The ETA system enables delegates to apply for visas electronically for a fee of AUD 20, and their applications are being regularly added to the system. A list of countries and details on eligibility to use the system is available at www.eta.immi.gov.au.
More information about the visa application process is available at https://immi.homeaffairs.gov.au/visas/getting-a-visa/visa-finder/visit.
For delegates with passports issued by countries not yet approved for the ETA system, visa applications are handled by the international network of Australian Embassies and Consulates www.immi.gov.au.
International participants who need an invitation letter for visa processing are requested to email acprau2025@gmail.com. If you do not receive a confirmation of your request within a few days, please re-send your inquiry immediately.
To assist with the processing of visa applications, the Department of Immigration operates the International Event Coordinator Network (IECN). Under the IECN system, professional conference management companies in Australia assist the department with processing visa applications for their delegates. The system is of particular assistance to delegates who are citizens of the countries that are not yet eligible for the ETA system.
