Restrictions on travel to Australia

Important information on new measures for return to Australia

Starting from 22 January 2021, passengers traveling to Australia will have to provide to their airline evidence of a negative COVID-19 (PCR) test when checking in for the flight. The PCR test must have been carried out within 72 hours prior to departure. More info at smartraveller.gov.au

From Friday, 20 March at 9pm AEDT, Australia will not allow the entry of people who are not citizens, residents or their immediate families.
