Australia Visa in 2026 — the honest guide for U.S. travelers (why you use the ETA, subclass 601, and not the eVisitor or Visitor visa 600)
Australia has three doors for short-stay visitors: the ETA (601), the eVisitor (651), and the Visitor visa (600). The internet makes it sound like there's "one electronic visa for everyone." There isn't. As a U.S. passport holder, you don't use the eVisitor (that's Europe-only) and you don't need the full Visitor visa 600 — your door is the ETA, subclass 601, applied through the Australian ETA app for a small service fee. This guide explains who uses what, with no fluff.
