Can you get a UK visa online?

Australian travellers can apply for a visa to the UK online through the UK Visa Immigration Services website. As part of the online visa application process, you are also applying for an eVisa. 

From the 25th of February 2026, travellers who successfully apply for a visa to the UK will be issued with an eVisa. An eVisa is a digital record of your identity and immigration status (for example the type of visa you hold) and the conditions of your immigration status (for example if your visa allows you to work or study in the UK).  

As entry and visa requirements for the United Kingdom may change over time, it is your responsibility to verify entry and visa requirements with the official government authorities including the UK’s Visa and Immigration (UKVI), the British High Commission Canberra or your local British Consulate.
