Next step **How we know** Access verified against an official source Stretch's rules pipeline checked the entry category against the destination's official publication and a reviewer signed it off. Stay length verified against an official source The stay length was checked against official evidence. Sources are listed further down the page. ## How the count works for Japanese citizens in Australia You may stay up to 90 days. The recorded maximum applies to the current stay. Stretch does not assume that leaving creates a fresh allowance; check the evidence, entry stamp and any re-entry conditions. Stretch sets your must-exit date the day you log the entry and reminds you at 14, 7, 3 and 1 days out. ## Before you fly Stretch publishes no independently sourced arrival card or application checklist for this route. Use the official check labelled in the sources section before travelling. ## Notes from the rulebook Electronic Travel Authority (subclass 601): this passport is on the Department of Home Affairs eligibility list. Three months per entry, multiple entry, on a visa valid 12 months. The page says "3 months", not "90 days" — 90 is the model's reading of three months, as elsewhere in the bank. ## Sources - **Evidence for the rule:** Official: immi.homeaffairs.gov.au — checked 2026-08-22 - **Official check:** [immi.homeaffairs.gov.au](https://immi.homeaffairs.gov.au/visas/getting-a-visa/visa-listing/electronic-travel-authority-601), retrieved 2026-08-22 ## Questions Japanese citizens ask about Australia **Can Japanese citizens enter Australia without a visa?** No visa, but an electronic travel authorisation is required before you fly.
