Australia Hosts Ashes Tour
Advice And Information
Australia is hosting the ever popular Ashes Tour this year. Strong ticket sales indicate that the tour will be as big as ever with the much anticipated matches in Brisbane starting on 25 November.
Essential Advice For Travellers From The Foreign & Commonwealth Office (FCO):
In order to get the most out of your visit to Australia, the FCO advises cricket fans to:
- Obtain an eVisitor visa from the Department of Immigration & Citizenship
- Get sufficient travel and medical insurance before you travel to avoid pricey medical expenses and unforeseen costs down the line
- Obtain a proof of age card, instead of travelling around with your passport as this is recognised as an accepted form of ID for many everyday services in Australia
- Double check with the Australian Quarantine and Inspection Service about what you are allowed to bring into the country
