​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​Travel exemption process​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ to enter Australia

​​​​​

While Australia’s COVID-19 travel restrictions were in place, individual travel exemptions could be approved in limited, exceptional circumstances.

From 6 July 2022​, travel restrictions have ​changed. All visa holders may now travel to Australia without needing a travel exemption, as long as they hold a valid visa and meet all normal border entry requirements.

The Travel Exemptions Portal is no longer available, as exemptions are not required for entry to Australia.

You must hold a visa before you travel to Australia. For more information see:
