Requirements for nationals of Cyprus applying for an Australian visa
The Australian online visa application process is simple and straightforward, requiring an eligible applicant only to have one document, i.e., a valid passport.
What is most essential, the passport should remain valid for at least six months from the date of planned entry date into Australia.
Cypriot citizens must also be aware that it is necessary to meet certain health and criminal requirements.
Every traveler arriving in Australia must be free of tuberculosis and cannot have a sentence of imprisonment exceeding one year.
Since the approved Australian visa will be directly linked to your passport, you don’t have to bother to print it out and carry its physical copy with you.
Nevertheless, you should save its digital copy on your mobile device and show it when asked during border control.
