Best for: Working Holiday visa holders or short multi-entry stops in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane.
Australia has no DNV and the long-stay paths are aimed at skilled employment or working-holiday-eligible 18-35 year olds. The ETA / eVisitor 3-month multi-entry is generous and most short-stay nomads use it. Sydney and Melbourne are the costly headline cities; Brisbane and the Gold Coast are the lower-cost alternatives. Internet is uniformly fast nationwide.
Visa story

Open the per-city visa cards on each city page for the specific income tests, durations, and program names. None of this is legal advice — confirm with the consulate before booking.
