Travel Guidance

We are regularly monitoring travel guidance for international delegates attending Routes Asia.

Entry requirements

All visitors will require a passport and a valid visa to enter the country, and upon arriving in Perth, everyone must have a completed and signed Incoming Passenger card, including health and character declaration. In some instances, additional paperwork or documentation may be required. 

Passport validity

If you are visiting Australia, your passport should be valid for 6 months from the date you arrive.

VISA information

All countries entering Australia require a valid visa or authority to enter. Delegates from New Zealand can be granted an electronic Special Category Visa on arrival. Please check with your local embassy or check the Australian Border Force website for more information.

Please note that Routes is not able to sponsor visa applications but we can supply a letter to support your visa process. Visa application is subject to local country rules and regulations and Informa Markets cannot be held responsible for any miscommunication or changes. If you do require a visa support letter please contact our travel team on routestravelteam@informa.com

Vaccines

Visitors travelling to Australia no longer need to show proof of COVID-19 vaccination or a negative COVID-19 test result.

What can I bring into Australia?

There are strict rules on what you can and cannot bring into Australia, and those you need to declare. This includes any items you may take on the flight as well as in your hold luggage or sent ahead. You can find a full list of the items you cannot bring or need to declare here.

Please note that this information is correct as of May 2024. We strongly recommend that you always refer to Australia's official government website, along with the government website of your country of travel, for the most up-to-date information.
