Australia trip checklist

For a Ghana passport.

Ghanaian 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.

Adding a date turns every lead time below into a real deadline and lets you save the entry deadline to a calendar. It stays in the address bar, so the link you share carries it. Nothing is sent to Yoogo.

    Many countries want a passport valid for a period beyond your departure date, not just for the trip. Confirm the exact rule for Australia on the official page before you book.

  • Have proof of onward travel and where you are staying

    Border officers ask for both, and an airline can refuse boarding without them. A booking confirmation on your phone is usually enough.

  • Check whether any vaccinations are needed

    Vaccination requirements are set by Australia and by your own health service, and some need weeks to take effect. Ask a travel clinic rather than guessing.

  • Save the local emergency numbers

    In Australia: ambulance 000, police 000, fire 000. Save them before you land, not after.

Money

  • Sort out AUD before you go

    Australia uses AUD. Airport exchange desks carry the widest spread, so check the rate and arrange money before you travel.

  • Tell your bank you are travelling

    A card frozen for suspicious activity on day one is a common and entirely avoidable problem. Check foreign transaction fees at the same time.

Staying connected

  • Arrange data before you land

    Roaming on your home tariff is usually the most expensive way to use data in Australia. A local eSIM activates before you travel and keeps your home number working.
