-
如果需要远程工作，申请澳大利亚打工度假签证（417类别）（如符合年龄18-30/35岁）。该签证允许远程工作和短期受雇。例如：28岁美国公民通过immi.homeaffairs.gov.au申请WHV。
-
如果必须进行志愿服务，申请访客签证（600类别）并附带允许志愿工作的条件，或确保志愿服务针对非澳大利亚组织（例如国际非政府组织）。
-
对于商务活动，仅使用ETA进行无报酬的会议、谈判或参会。保留访问目的记录。
无效尝试
常见但无效的做法:
-
Traveler works 40 hours/week remotely for a US company while on ETA, assuming it's legal because the employer is foreign
90% 失败
Australian immigration law defines 'work' as any activity that provides a benefit to the individual or an organization; remote work for a foreign employer still requires a work visa (e.g., subclass 482)
-
Traveler volunteers at an Australian charity for 2 weeks, thinking it's not work
85% 失败
Volunteering that provides a benefit to an Australian organization (e.g., charity, school) is considered work under the Migration Act and requires a visa with work rights
-
Traveler attends a business conference and gives a paid speech, assuming it's allowed under 'business visitor' activities
70% 失败
Paid speeches or services provided to an Australian entity are considered work; only attending meetings or conferences without remuneration is allowed
