The upgrade of the paper system to the paperless online application has significantly eased the duration of the processing and eliminated visa hassle. Now applicants don’t have to stay in lengthy queues, and deal with paperwork, as all steps can be completed online.
The Australian government enabled San Marino citizens to apply for the eVisitor over the internet. The application process is simple, as all you need to do is to fill the form, upload supporting documents, and pay the fee.
You don’t even need to attend the embassy to collect your eVisa, as it is sent directly to your email address. With an eVisitor, you can come to Australia for tourist and business purposes.
The Australian eTA allows San Marino nationals to travel to Australia numerous times, with each visit not exceeding 90 days. The main thing is that the eVisa must stay valid during all your visits to Australia.
Note that your passport must be effective as well. Any changes to the data, or passport expiration, make the eVisa ineffective.

The processing may take some time, but filling out the application form, attaching documents, and payment doesn’t take long. You can apply at any time, as there is no need to stick to working hours.

The validity and the permitted stay
The Australia eVisitor is valid for one year (12 months) from the date of issue. During this period, the visa holders can enter Australia unlimited times. However, each visit cannot be longer than 3 months (90 days).
If you want to come back to Australia and your eTA is still valid, you should leave Australia for 3 days (or more). After that, you can return for another 3 months.
Note that Australian eTA is digitally connected to your passport. That means that if you lose it, or passport data expires or changes, the visa becomes invalid as well.
What are the requirements to apply for an Australian eTA visa?
You are able to apply for an eVisa to Australia if you have:
- tourist or business purposes of travel
- an eligible country passport valid for at least 6 months from the arrival date
- an active email account (for visa processing purposes)
- an ability to pay online
The process of the online visa application to Australia is also a simple and quick method of reducing queues in the Australian visa application departments of the Australian government.
