Where can you go on a Australia passport?

The Australian passport offers strong visa-free access including the European Union (Schengen — 90 days), the United Kingdom (with ETA from 2025), the United States (ESTA), Canada (eTA), Japan, South Korea, and most of Southeast Asia. Australians benefit from working-holiday agreements with the UK, Ireland, Canada, France, Germany, and many other countries — typically allowing 12 to 24 months of work and travel. For permanent migration, most destinations require employer sponsorship or a points-based skilled-worker route; Canada's Express Entry and the UK's Skilled Worker route are common pathways.

About travel from Australia

Visa requirements for Australia passport holders vary by destination, purpose, and policies that change without notice. We pull from official government sources where possible — embassy and ministry-of-foreign-affairs pages — and surface the date we last verified each requirement, plus a direct link to the primary source on every answer.

For each destination, you'll find tourist, business, transit, work, study, partner/family and diplomatic visa routes (where applicable). Each shows the visa type, maximum stay, typical cost, processing time, and the official application URL.

Important: a valid visa permits entry subject to officer discretion at the border. Always verify with the destination's embassy or consulate before booking travel, accepting employment, or making relocation plans — particularly for long-stay routes (work, study, family) where the consequences of incorrect information are severe.
