Entry tips for Australia

• Apply for the ETA only through the official AustralianETA app.
• Local currency is Australian dollar (AUD) — carry a card that works abroad and some cash for arrival costs.
• Buy travel medical insurance that covers your whole stay.
• An eSIM bought before you fly means data as soon as you land — handy for showing bookings at immigration.
