Key facts

You may need a visa if…

• The 90-day visa-free stay applies to visits within a 180-day period, not per entry.
• For stays longer than 90 days or for purposes other than tourism/business, a visa is required.
• You may need to register with the local police or a foreign policing unit within 24-48 hours of arrival, especially if staying in private accommodation. Your hotel will usually handle this.
• Be aware of local laws and customs, which can be different from Australia.
• Always carry your passport and supporting documents.
