    Thanks

    You can apply for a

    eVisitor Visa

    should be what you need

    Hi
    I am going to Oz next march for 3 weeks as my brother is getting married there. I am going with my family (6 in total) I have a Rough Guide book and I booked with Trailfinders and they both said I needed an ETA (of varying costs, Trailf said €22, but i found much cheaper on different websites)
    So is an eVisitor all I really need at the much cheaper cost of €0?
    We only intend to go for 3 weeks, no hope of extending the visit.
    Thanks

    [Edit] just saw on a website the eVisitor was only introduced in October this year

    Hey Stressed

    I have checked with Australian Immigration &

    Irish passport holders no long can apply for ETA on their own , they have to go through a travel agent .

    But you can apply for the eVisitor Visa and yes that is all you need for a holiday .

    don't go through any agencies - they add on fees
