Hey there, fellow Malaysians! 🙌 I recently took an unforgettable trip to Australia, and let me tell you — the beaches, the wildlife, the coffee culture, and of course, the friendly Aussies 🇦🇺 — it was everything I imagined and more! 😍
But before packing your bags and heading Down Under, there's one important thing to sort out first: your visa.
So if you're wondering, "Do Malaysians need a visa to travel to Australia?" — you're in the right place. I'm going to walk you through all the visa options, how much they cost 💸, how long they take ⏳, and even how to apply, based on my own experience. Let's dive in! 🌊
🛂 Do Malaysians Need a Visa to Australia?
Yes, Malaysians do need a visa to enter Australia — whether it’s for a holiday, business, study, or work. But don’t worry — it’s not complicated (I promise!). You can apply online, and there are a few visa types depending on your trip purpose.
➡️ Book your Australia flight on Trip.com now and start planning early!
🗂️ Types of Visas for Malaysians Traveling to Australia
Here are the most common visas Malaysians apply for:
- Electronic Travel Authority (ETA) – Subclass 601
- Visitor Visa – Subclass 600
- Working Holiday Visa – Subclass 462
- Student Visa – Subclass 500 (for those planning to study)
Let me break these down for you 👇
💻 Australia ETA Visa (Subclass 601)
This is the easiest and fastest visa if you're going for a short holiday or business trip — and it's the one I used! 🎉
✅ ETA Highlights:
- Apply online or via the AustralianETA app
- Valid for 12 months
- Multiple entries allowed
- Each stay up to 3 months
🔔 Tip: The mobile app is super convenient and takes just minutes to submit your details!
🏖️ Australia Visitor Visa (Subclass 600)

📝 Visitor Visa Details:
- For tourism or visiting family/friends
- Stay for up to 3, 6, or 12 months
- Apply online via immi.homeaffairs.gov.au
💡 This visa is a bit more flexible than the ETA, especially if you plan to stay longer or can’t use the ETA app.
➡️ Check official info for Subclass 600

For my Sydney trip, I chose the Meriton Suites Kent Street, and overall, it was a great experience, especially for families.
The hotel's location is super convenient, very close to Chinatown, with an abundance of dining options nearby. Whether you're craving Chinese food or local delicacies, you'll easily find something. The pho downstairs was delicious, making dining both easy and tasty. The suites are designed like apartments, fully equipped with everything you need for daily living, and the rooms are clean and tidy, making for a very comfortable stay.
Communication at the front desk was entirely in English. Overall, the hotel offers high practicality and convenience, perfect for family travelers who prioritize location and comfort. I would definitely consider staying here again on my next trip to Sydney if the need arises.Dari$224

The room was on a high floor with a great view. The overall details of the room were pretty good, but they didn't provide water, toothbrushes, or toothpaste. However, you could get toothbrushes and toothpaste at the front desk. The air conditioning temperature wasn't adjustable. The hotel's location is decent; there's an exhibition center and a construction site nearby, but at least on our side of the hotel, the noise wasn't too bad. The breakfast selection wasn't extensive, but the service was okay. The hotel lobby was too plain, and the front desk service was terrible. The 3 PM check-in time felt like an unfair rule, especially since they said they'd notify us if the room was ready early, but they never did. Even going to the front desk ten minutes early to ask didn't help; they just ignored us and made us wait until 3 PM.Dari$563

Negatives were the extremely inappropriate music playing around the pool that was full of kids in the afternoon! Not all lifts and buttons were working so there was sometimes a wait to go up. Shower head didn’t move and was pointed directly at the door so you couldn’t really get in without wetting everything outside the shower!

The biggest advantage of this hotel is its location, directly opposite QVB (Queen Victoria Building), which makes getting around and shopping incredibly convenient. However, the room's hardware condition was quite disappointing. The space was very small and the facilities were quite old. The overall feel was probably equivalent to a domestic three-star standard. The service was decent though, with housekeeping coming daily. All things considered, I likely won't choose to stay here again. Unless you have an extreme obsession with being 'right outside QVB', you can definitely find a larger room with newer facilities for the same price in Sydney.Dari$130

Overall, it exceeded my expectations. The suite had huge windows, and housekeeping cleaned daily. The kitchen facilities were complete, though I was hesitant to use the stove for fear of setting off the fire alarm. Was it $1460 or something like that?
**Location:** The location is excellent. It’s a short walk to QVB and other places in the city. We even walked to the Opera House. Coming back from the outlet mall, it was a direct bus ride.
**Service:** Good, the front desk staff were friendly.
Even though there's no breakfast, it's easy to find breakfast nearby, so it wasn't a big deal. The only thing to note is that there's a lot of noise from racing cars or sirens (or ambulances?) outside the window at night.Dari$136

The hotel's location is its biggest advantage. Circular Quay is right outside the first floor, and Royal Gardens is across the street from the third floor, making it very convenient. The rooms seem like apartments, as when booking, each one seemed to have a kitchen, but we didn't need one. The room had a balcony with a view of the Sydney Harbour, which was beautiful both day and night. The only downside was that the gym equipment wasn't very well used. Breakfast was a generous portion, though you had to order it yourself. One portion was enough for two people.Dari$379

When we arrived, we had an issue with our room—the balcony door wouldn’t lock, and the balcony was somewhat accessible from other apartments. Concerned for our belongings, we asked if we could change rooms. The front desk staff were extremely accommodating and kindly offered us a free upgrade to a higher-floor, two-bedroom apartment.
Unfortunately, when we arrived at the new room, the second bedroom was locked and inaccessible. We didn’t bother raising it as we hadn’t booked a two-bedroom apartment and didn’t really need the extra space. However, we are starting to feel that the rooms are becoming a bit... dated. There’s often a musty smell when we check in, and this time, we found someone else’s socks in the dryer—after drying some of our own clothes, which wasn’t pleasant.
A little more attention to cleaning between guests and ensuring faults are properly addressed would go a long way. Sadly, this experience has left us considering other accommodation options for our next stay—something we wouldn’t normally do, as the Oaks’ location is fantastic! That said, I want to reiterate that the front desk staff were absolutely lovely and very accommodating.Dari$128

First of all, the hotel does not have a reception desk. You need to contact the service staff to check in later or soon. If you don't speak English well, do your homework in advance or choose another room.
Geographical environment: 8-10 minutes walk to crown business district (take a 6-year-old child). The Crown business district is full of food, shopping and casinos. There are many supermarkets in the downstairs for a minute or two. You can buy food and cook, and provide daily living supplies. Very convenient.
Room facilities: The hotel is a bit like a homestay. In a comprehensive apartment. You need to swipe the magnetic card to get in and out, which is relatively safe. The overall space is large, but both bedrooms are 1.5 meters small beds. The kitchen has pans, cutlery, a refrigerator, a microwave, and a dishwasher. But there is no seasoning. Cooking a light meal should be OK. Due to the folklore nature, there is no daily cleaning service. There is a swimming pool in the building.
Parking charges, $ 25 a day. Just come in and out. Friends who drive are highly recommended. City parking is too expensive. It's a good deal to take a taxi.
Disadvantages:
1. Give Ctrip. When booking, it was not marked clearly, I thought there was a hotel with a front desk. Stupidly arrived and found out that it was a homestay type. The current homeowner couldn't get through to the phone, and there was no place to stop and jump straight. Later, the host came and said that Ctrip only told us to check in at 5 o'clock, and did not give the host the contact information, so he was not prepared. Check-in at five is my time for Ctrip, but we flew from Brisbane, that is only approximate time. If Ctrip protects my personal privacy, I will not give the owner contact information, but at least I have to contact me Tell me how to check in, let me contact the owner in advance! !!
2. The overall health of the room is ok, but the smell is really bad. It feels like a guest cooking too much. Hope you can do a good job of ventilation.habis dijual

- Hold a Malaysian passport (machine‑readable, valid)
- Be outside Australia at time of application
- Be travelling for tourism or business purposes only (no employment permitted)
- Meet health and character requirements (e.g. no serious criminal history or tuberculosis)
Step 2: Download the Official Australian ETA App 📱
All applications must go through the Australian ETA mobile app, available on both Apple App Store and Google Play Store. This is the only legitimate way to apply—avoid websites charging more than AUD 20!
Step 3: Prepare Documents & Device Setup
Before starting, ensure:
- Your passport is valid (ideally with > 6 months remaining)
- You're using an NFC-enabled mobile device (no case)
- You have camera access, email, and a valid credit or debit card for payment (Visa, Mastercard, AmEx, etc.)
Step 4: Launch App & Create Profile
- Open the ETA app
- Add a new applicant using your passport
- Follow prompts to scan your passport biodata page and passport chip (NFC)
- Take a selfie photo within the app—this verifies your identity 👤
Step 5: Complete the Application Form
Within the app, you’ll answer questions about:
- Travel purpose (tourism or business)
- Current country of residence
- Contact details in Malaysia and (optional) Australia
- Health declarations and any past criminal convictions
Carefully review your entries—mistakes can cause delays.
Step 6: Pay the Service Fee 💳
- There is no government visa fee, only a service fee of AUD 20
- Pay through the app using your card or ApplePay
- Do not pay more than AUD 20—anything else is likely a scam
Step 7: Submit & Watch for Notification
- After submission you’ll receive an email acknowledgment
- Processing is usually instant, in many cases within minutes, but may take up to 12–24 hours particularly for further processing requests
- You can check your ETA status inside the app or via VEVO—Visa Entitlement Verification Online
Step 8: If "Further Information" Is Requested
Occasionally, applications are flagged and you’ll be asked to provide more documents:
- Follow instructions in the email carefully
- Log in to ImmiAccount, complete Form 1554, and attach:
- Passport biodata page
- Malaysian identity card photocopy
- Travel plans (bookings)
- Proof of ties to Malaysia (job, funds, family)
- List of travel companions, relatives in Australia, etc.
Reddit experiences confirm this is common for Malaysians, so be ready to prove genuine intent.
Step 9: Once Approved 📨
- You’ll receive a Visa Grant Notice via email—no physical sticker is applied to your passport
- ETA is valid for 12 months (or life of your passport if shorter) and allows multiple entries, each up to 3 months stay
- Carry a copy or screenshot of your grant email when travelling
