根因分析
根据1994年移民条例，澳大利亚ETA（601类）明确禁止任何形式的工作，包括为外国雇主远程工作；违反可能导致签证取消、拘留和3年禁止入境期。
English
The Australian ETA (subclass 601) explicitly prohibits any form of work, including remote work for a foreign employer, under Migration Regulations 1994; violation can lead to visa cancellation, detention, and a 3-year exclusion period.

-
申请访客签证（600类）并附带'禁止工作'条件，或者如果需要真正的商务活动，申请商务访客签证（600类），该签证允许有限的商务活动（例如参加会议），但不允许远程工作。
-
对于长期远程工作，申请数字游民签证（如果可用，例如拟议的408类疫情事件签证已不再有效）或临时技能短缺签证（482类），需雇主担保。
-
如果旅客只需要偶尔查看电子邮件或进行简短通话，应将工作降至最低，并确保没有澳大利亚收入来源；但这存在风险，不建议。
无效尝试
常见但无效的做法:
-
Assume that working remotely for a US-based company is allowed because the traveler is not employed by an Australian company
98% 失败
The ETA prohibits any work, regardless of employer location; even checking work emails or attending virtual meetings can be considered work.
-
Think that volunteering or unpaid work is exempt from the work restriction
85% 失败
Unpaid work or volunteering that provides a benefit to an Australian organization is still considered work under the regulations.
-
Believe that if the traveler does not tell immigration officials, they will not find out about remote work
90% 失败
Australian Border Force can inspect devices at the border and has access to digital footprints; violations are increasingly detected.
