Connecting through another country?

This page covers a direct flight to Australia.

Transit rules depend on your specific routing, so check the country you connect through separately, or analyse your full itinerary.

What to know before you go

Check your phone coverage abroad

INFO

You're travelling to Australia (AU). Your home cellular plan may or may not include data abroad — check your carrier's international options before you fly. An eSIM is a low-commitment alternative if your plan doesn't cover the destination or charges high roaming rates.

Australia (AU) checks criminal history on entry to

INFO

Australia (AU) screens applicants and arriving travellers against criminal records (character test). If your history is clean, no action — proceed normally. If you've ever been convicted of anything, two things matter: (1) any visa or entry-permit application asks the question, and answering 'no' when the answer is 'yes' is itself grounds for refusal even if the original conviction wouldn't have been; (2) some categories trigger denial regardless — the canonical examples are DUI for Canada and drug-related convictions for Japan. Research waivers / rehabilitation routes well before booking if either applies to you.

Cash declaration threshold: AUD 10,000 for Australia (AU)

INFO

Declare AUD 10,000 or equivalent when entering or leaving Australia (AU). Form: AUSTRAC declaration. Declare AUD$10,000+ on entry or exit

Malaria-endemic destination: Liberia (LR)

INFO

Your itinerary touches Liberia (LR), where malaria transmission occurs. Transmission is often region-limited within a country (e.g. coastal vs highland zones) and varies by season. Discuss prophylaxis with a travel medicine clinician — the right antimalarial depends on the specific region, your medical history, and any medications you take.

Fill out Incoming Passenger Card (IPC) before you fly

Approximately $50/day per person. Accepted: Bank statements. Australia may request proof of funds for visitor visa Have a recent bank statement, a credit card with available limit, or a sponsor letter ready — the goal is to have a documented answer the officer can check in 30 seconds, not a debate.
