E651 and E601 visas

tabagirl · Jul 8, 2014

Hi everyone, hope you can help. Will be travelling to Australia in December for vacation and checking out which visa we will need.

As we will be looking at having several vacation trips to Australia between the period of December 2014 and December 2015 would like to apply for the one most appropriate for us.

Could someone please advise the difference between the E651 and E601 visa.

many thanks.

Cheers.

Although both visas say UK is eligible for 601 and 651, applying for a 601 visa "online" is only for a few countries -

Lodge your application online

You can apply for this ETA online at Electronic Travel Authority if you hold a citizen passport from:

Brunei
Canada
Hong Kong (SAR of China)
Japan
Malaysia
Singapore
South Korea
United States.

From the UK flag in your profile, you can apply for 651, which is free and usually takes - as per online threads - 30 mins to get the visa (after submitting the online application). If you still want to apply for 601, You may need to use a travel agent to apply for this visa.
