Visa Information
Please note that all travellers to Australia must have a valid visa before boarding their plane. Travellers to Australia cannot apply for a visa on arrival, with the exception of New Zealand passport holders, who will be visaed on arrival in Australia .

All international event participants, (other than New Zealander passport holders) should review the following information carefully. There are currently two possible visa options for adult event participants and the appropriate visa to apply for will depend on their country of passport.
