An Australian Government mobile application that you can use to lodge an Australian Electronic Travel Authority (ETA) application. The ETA allows eligible passport holders to travel to Australia for short-term stays for tourism or business visitor purposes.

This app is BS, why isn’t this possible on a laptop / manually? I’m usually a pretty chill person. But due to the fickleness of this app and its inability to process all smartphones, I am now sitting at home using my friends phone since the app wouldn’t process my info at all even despite trying the 2 hours at the airport. Essentially it comes down to using recent smartphone models. I had to use a friends iPhone 15 despite my iPhone 8 having an NFC reader— if Australia is going to fund Apple like this, I shan’t be spending money on souvenirs when I arrive as that money just went into rebuying my ticket to see my friend. ETA, yah basic.
