As of 20 September 2011, the list of eligible passport holders able to apply for the online e676 electronic tourist visa has expanded to include citizens of Chile and Turkish Special, Service and Diplomatic passport holders.
The e676 visa is an online tourist visa which enables people to visit Australia for a holiday or to visit family and friends. This visa may also be used for other short-term non-work purposes including study for less than three months. The advantage of the e676 visa is that it is lodged online and granted and recorded electronically so that no visa label is required and visa processing is relatively fast.
