Australian Visa for Belgian Citizens
An Australian visa can be obtained by Belgian citizens online since 2016. Australian government implemented an online visa system to speed up the application process.
A tourist visa to Australia is multiple-entry, so with this permit, Belgian citizens can visit the country numerous times while the visa is valid. An Australian visa stays effective for one year (365 days) and is connected to the applicant's passport.
The permitted period of each stay for Belgians is 3 months (90 days). Afterward, a person can leave the country for a minimum of 3 days and then have another 90 days if their visa stays effective.
The online application process is simple and not time-consuming. To get an Australian visa, citizens of Belgium must follow three simple steps: fill out the checkboxes with the required information, make the online payment of 49 Euro and wait for the approval.
An electronic Belgium visa is sent to an applicant's email address in the form of a PDF file and does not require a print-out copy.
Australian visa doesn't have long complicated requirements. The only things Belgium passport holders must have are a valid passport, a working device with the internet, online payment means, and an active email address.
