For the relevant traveller scope, is a visa, electronic authorisation, visa on arrival or no advance visa normally required?

A visa must be obtained in advance: the visa-on-arrival concession has been repealed, and a copy of the visa grant letter must be shown on entry.

See recorded sources
Limits of the record
  • No full nationality matrix; visa exemptions exist for some official passports and MSG citizens have their own visa.

What short-visit purposes does this route cover?

The Tourist Visa covers sightseeing, leisure, tours and holidays; it is not for business, employment or study.

See recorded sources

What maximum stay, rolling-period rule, validity and entry rules apply?

The current Tourist detail page distinguishes permitted stay of three months for each entry from visa validity of one year, and states multiple entries. Its note describes the initial three months as 90 days and says extensions must be requested before expiry. Extension is conditional and requires Immigration to consider individual circumstances. The older overview’s single-entry/180-day labels are not substituted for these detailed current statements.

Limits of the record
  • The older official overview remains inconsistent on single versus multiple entry and 180-day validity/stay. No cumulative rolling-period limit or maximum extension period is established by the current detail page.
