Invitation Letters for Authors and Participants

VISA Information:
All visitors to Australia must have a valid visa to travel to and enter Australia (other than New Zealand passport holders who will normally be granted a Special Category visa on arrival, provided they meet health and character requirements).
VISA options: If you are planning to visit Australia for an event such as a conference, meeting or seminar, you need to apply for a visa. The passport, which you hold, determines whether you can apply online, or if you need to lodge a paper-based application in your country. Follow this link, which will help you identify the right visa and application process applicable to you. Your local consualte may also have info on how to apply Australian visa in your country. If you are required to submit a paper application, we strongly encourage you to begin the visa application ASAP.
