Eligible Country Does Not Guarantee Approval

Country eligibility is only one part of the eVisitor 651 context. Other factors can matter, including identity checks, travel purpose, previous visa history, health and character considerations, application consistency, and the accuracy of passport information.

Holding an eligible passport does not guarantee approval. The Department of Home Affairs may request more information, assess previous immigration history, or refuse an application where requirements are not met.
