Visa required. Swiss passport holders need an entry permit before traveling to Australia.

Swiss citizens need an entry permit for every travel purpose and must apply in advance. For a tourist visit, eligible Swiss passport holders can apply online for the free eVisitor from outside Australia. It allows multiple entries for 12 months, with stays of up to 3 months after each entry. Tourism, visiting family or friends, and business visitor activities are allowed; paid work is not.
