ASK THE EXPERTS
Q //Now Australia’s borders have reopened I’m planning a trip later this year. What do I need to know in terms of restrictions, and what makes a good second-timer’s itinerary?
To enter the country, you need to be double-vaccinated against Covid-19, unless you’re under the age of 12 or medically exempt. You’ll also need a visa — subclass e651 for most British tourists — as well as proof of vaccination and a completed Digital Passenger Declaration (DPD). The latter is similar to the Passenger Locator Form for UK arrivals and must be submitted 72 hours before you leave for Australia.
You also need either a negative PCR test conducted within 72 hours
