If you receive approval, the visa specifications and its actual presence will be accessible and viewed by the airline's ground staff at the time of check-in. If the ETA Australia visa does not appear on the terminal at the time of boarding, you will not be allowed to board, and in this case the staff can forward an urgent request with an additional cost. If the passport used for the ETA Australia application changes for any reason before departure, a new Australia ETA visa is required.
If you already have a valid Australian Visa Visitor and apply for another ETA (ex.the first one is about to expire or because an error in filling out the application has been committed), if the second request submitted is approved, it automatically cancels the previous ETA Australia and replaces it.
It is not possible to extend the validity of the ETA visa.
