If your passport is not eligible for an ETA?
If you do not hold an ETA eligible passport, you should check if you are eligible for any other electronic visa category. If you are not eligible for an ETA, eVisitor or an e676, you need to apply on paper to the Visa Office at the Australian Embassy Berlin. If you wish to enter Australia for business purposes and you do not hold an ETA eligible passport, you should check if you are eligible to apply online for an eVisitor or apply for a Visitor visa (Business Visitor stream) (s/c 600).

* The Australian Government does not charge for using the ETA Service. Most service providers will issue the ETA free of charge as part of the booking, however, they are free to request a service charge.
