What documents and requirements do I need for a subclass 771 Transit visa?

To be granted a Transit visa you must hold a valid passport and meet the character requirements. You must also meet the health requirements, and the specific health checks depend on your personal circumstances.

Because the visa is for genuine transit, evidence of onward travel, such as a confirmed ticket to a third country, supports your application and helps show you intend only to pass through Australia.

Apply from outside Australia with complete and accurate documents. Missing or inconsistent information can delay a decision, which is a problem given the tight timing usually involved in transit travel.
