# AI告诉美国/英国/加拿大公民他们可以在澳大利亚ETA（601类别）期间为外国雇主远程工作，忽略了ETA严格禁止任何工作，包括为海外公司远程工作，且为当地组织做志愿者也可能被视为工作

## 根因

澳大利亚ETA（601类别）是访客签证，禁止'工作'（定义为任何对澳大利亚劳动力市场有贡献或为澳大利亚组织提供服务的活动，即使是无偿的）；为外国雇主远程工作也被禁止，因为在移民法下这构成在澳大利亚工作

## 解决方案

1. ```
   If remote work is essential, apply for the Australian Work and Holiday visa (subclass 462) for eligible countries (US, UK, CA, etc.), which allows limited work (up to 6 months per employer). Note: requires age 18-30 (35 for some).
   ```
2. ```
   For short business trips, use the Business Visitor visa (subclass 600) which allows limited business activities (meetings, conferences) but still prohibits work. Ensure no productive output for Australian entities.
   ```
3. ```
   If volunteering is planned, check with the Australian Department of Home Affairs via the Visa Enquiry Service: https://immi.homeaffairs.gov.au/help-support/departmental-forms/online-form/visa-enquiry-form. Provide details of the activity to confirm it's not work.
   ```

## 无效尝试

- **** — Australian migration law defines work broadly; even checking emails or taking calls for a foreign employer while physically in Australia can be considered work, and the ETA condition 8101 prohibits any work (85% 失败率)
- **** — Volunteering that provides a service to an Australian organization (e.g., teaching, building) is considered work; only genuine tourism-related activities are allowed (75% 失败率)
- **** — Australia has no specific digital nomad visa; the ETA cannot be converted to a work visa; a separate work visa (e.g., subclass 482) is required (90% 失败率)
