The
Australian government website contains a range of information for those who wish to enter the country on a temporary basis, and you will find answers to many of your questions on their site.
Please check your passport is valid before visiting Australia. As we’ve seen around the world in recent times, there are long delays to have passports reissued. The Australian government does not impose six month passport validity for travellers entering the country, however, some airlines insist on the validity as part of their terms and conditions to board a flight – please ensure you have checked this.
Please check visa requirements for entering Australia
on this site - visas are dependent on which country issued your passport.
From the list on the government site the main purpose of your visit is ‘attending a conference or expo’ which is about halfway down the list on the link above.
Visas applications must be covered at your own expense, and you should apply once your registration has been confirmed. Please be advised that, due to high demand, visas are taking longer to process and can take months in some cases. Please book early to avoid disappointment.
Letters to support visa applications, are provided to AIME exhibitors, hosted buyers and media only. If you require a letter of support to attend AIME as a visitor buyer, please contact the AIME team who will assess your request.
