What do you need?

Who needs what

eTA (electronic travel authorisation) 81

Not a visa. A short online form for travellers who are already visa-exempt, usually approved automatically in minutes to hours. No appointment, no interview, no documents.

eVisa (electronic visa) 102

A real visa application, made online instead of at an embassy. It is assessed, it takes days rather than minutes, and it can be refused.

Visa on arrival 14

Issued at the border rather than beforehand. Bring the fee in cash in the currency the border post accepts. It is a permission, not a guarantee.

Visa required 1

You must apply and be approved before you travel. Airlines will refuse to board you without it.
