What is ETA?
ETA means no stamp and no label on your passport and you entering to Australia like you entering your own country.
An ETA is equivalent to a visa, but there is no stamp or label
in your passport and there is no need for you to visit an
Australian diplomatic office to submit an application.
Applications for ETAs can be submitted through travel agents
or airlines.
The ETA is issued electronically by a computer system operated
for the Department of Immigration And Citizenship (DIAC)
of Australia.
When you arrive at an airport for check-in on a flight to
Australia, the airline check-in staff can electronically confirm
that you have authority to board the flight to Australia.
