  • return or onward ticket
  • online ETA application before travel (via immi.homeaffairs.gov.au)

Use the government route and fee only. Avoid lookalike agent sites that add markups or mimic official portals.

Why this verdict

Romanian citizens need an ETA (subclass 601) to visit Australia for tourism or short business stays of up to 3 months. Unlike the free eVisitor available to some European nationalities, Romania uses the paid ETA. Apply online before travel — the ETA is linked to the passport electronically.
