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)
Can’t apply for the ETA? No worries — this is a great alternative!
📝 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
🧳 Working Holiday Visa (Subclass 462)
Dreaming of traveling AND working in Australia? 🙌 This is for you!
🇲🇾 Malaysia is eligible for Subclass 462! 🎉
🛠️ Key Facts:
- Age 18–30 (inclusive)
- Stay for up to 12 months
- Work and travel (farm work, hospitality, etc.)
- Must meet education and English criteria
🎒 I met a few Malaysians in Brisbane who were on this visa and absolutely loving their freedom and income. It's such a great way to see Australia without burning through your savings!

Our stay at Meriton Suites Kent Street was fantastic! The location is right in the heart of the city — walking distance to Darling Harbour, Town Hall Station, and plenty of shops and restaurants.
The suite was spacious, modern, and spotless, with a fully equipped kitchen and laundry facilities that made our trip so much more convenient. The bed was very comfortable, and we loved having a separate living area to relax in after a long day exploring Sydney.
The staff were friendly and helpful, always checking in to make sure we had everything we needed. Having an indoor pool, spa, and gym on-site was a great bonus too.
Highly recommend Meriton Suites Kent Street for anyone looking for comfort, space, and excellent value in a central Sydney location.DariMYR 3,465

Marriott hotel is located 5 minutes walking distance from Circular Quay Station. Many restaurants nearby, but many closes by 8pm. Nearest McDonald’s opens 24hours, located just opposite the train station. Pitt Street Mall is a 15 minutes walk down the street. Shopping malls and supermarkets are located there. Sydney Opera House is also within walking distance from hotel.
Booked 2 rooms, placed request to have both rooms on the same level but they did not accommodate to the request. So we had 2 rooms on 2 levels. Which was quite inconvenient. One of the rooms we were allocated had a bathtub and separate rain shower area. Rooms were of decent size. Pillows were uncomfortable. Right opposite of the hotel was an office building. Opera House is located to the left of the window. Caught a firework show on my last night there as there was an event at the opera house.

The location is fantastic, located by the Darling Harbour, you can reach the Aquarium and Darling Harbour within 3-5 minutes. You can also access Sydney CBD (QVB etc.) easily.
For the staff, they are super friendly and helpful.
Despite I didn't request a daily room cleaning service, they tidied my room every day. If you don't want to have such service, you can definitely require not to too.
The view of my room is amazing, you can enjoy the view of Darling Harbour. And one more thing which I found quite important is that the room has a perfect soundproof. Since it's winter in August, it's quite cold in Sydney. The lobby has very warm temperature and cozy vibe. However, the room's air conditioning didn't provide a warm temperature that I satisfied, the room temperature remains between 18-20 °C during our stay, it would be perfect if it's like 23-25 °C. And this was the only down side I can think of, other than that, I had a perfect stay!DariMYR 626

Just one thing about the room motion detection, not sure if it’s only me, but if you are in the room but not moving around ( sitting while scrolling phone) the electricity cuts off after 30 minutes.

Had a comfortable and warm week here!
First off, the hotel's location is excellent. It's in Southbank, close to the city center, and there's a supermarket right downstairs. This not only covers daily essentials but also includes an Asian supermarket. It was incredibly convenient to buy groceries and then head straight upstairs to cook.
Secondly, the hotel facilities are great. I chose a high-floor room with distant ocean views. I could only hear the traffic noise from downstairs when I opened the double-glazed soundproof doors, so the sound insulation is really good! The hotel's AC and heating were also very effective, without blowing directly, which made staying in Melbourne in winter as comfortable as having central heating up north. Lastly, the hotel mattress was comfortable, just the right firmness, and I slept really well!
Thirdly, the hotel's cleanliness is excellent. Unlike other serviced apartments that clean once a week, this hotel arranged daily cleaning and never disturbed my morning rest. Finally, the front desk service was also very helpful! I would definitely recommend it to friends!DariMYR 372

However, the condition of the rooms was very different—our king room looked much older and more worn out.

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.DariMYR 463

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

📝 How to Apply for an Australian Visa as a Malaysian?
Here’s the step-by-step guide I followed — super easy:
Australia ETA (Electronic Travel Authority) Subclass 601
Step 1: Confirm You’re Eligible ✅
To apply for ETA (Subclass 601), you must:
- 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
