🇦🇺 Australia · Digital Nomad Visa
Remote-work visa programs, income requirements, duration, taxes, and application steps.
Australia does not have a dedicated digital nomad visa. Remote workers typically enter on a Visitor visa (subclass 600), ETA or eVisitor, which are for tourism/business and do not authorise ongoing work in Australia. Working remotely for a foreign employer during a short visit sits in a grey area; for any sustained working stay you need an appropriate work or skilled visa.
