The short answer
Pakistani citizens need an eVisa to enter Australia for stays of up to 90 days. An eVisa has to be applied for and approved online before travelling to Australia. Processing takes in most cases the result is given immediately. An application may take longer if it is not completed correctly or if further information is required, and the Department advises against making travel arrangements until the ETA is granted. The fee is AUD 20 service charge to use the Australian ETA app. The Department of Home Affairs states there is no other charge payable for an ETA (as of September 2026). Bring an eligible passport, the Australian ETA app on a mobile device and payment of the AUD 20 app service charge. This was last checked on 12 September 2026.
