Overseas Deligates

Conference delegates visiting Australia from overseas may require a visa to travel to Australia for the conference.

Before applying for a visa, you will need to register for the conference. A confirmation letter will be generated in your user profile for the conference registration. You will need to use this letter to support your application for a visa.

To ensure that you are aware of visa requirements before you lodge you visa application, download a copy of the visa application requirements fact sheet: www.acg.uwa.edu.au/__data/page/2130/Visa_Application_Requirements.pdf

To check whether you require a visa, go to http://www.border.gov.au/Trav/Visa-1/600-. At this website, you can enter your country and you will be advised whether a visa is required.

If a visa is required, you will need apply for a Visitor visa  based on one of the following options: 

• visas for people to come to Australia for tourism or business purposes, please see: www.border.gov.au/Trav/Visi/Visi
• visas for people to come to Australia to undertake short-term, highly specialised work or to participate in non-ongoing cultural or social activities at the invitation of an Australian organisation, please see: www.border.gov.au/Trav/Visa-1/400-

It is recommended that you allow yourself enough time to lodge your application ahead of your intended travel dates. Apply for your visa at least six weeks before your intended date of travel to Australia. However, it is generally not recommended that you lodge an application more than six months before your intended travel date, as you must arrive in Australia within six months from the date the visa is granted, otherwise you will need to re-apply.
