Choose a plan and pay on the product page (card, Apple Pay, Google Pay, PayPal or crypto). 2. The eSIM QR code arrives by email; install it before you travel (Settings > Mobile/Cellular > Add eSIM). 3. On arrival, select the eSIM for mobile data and turn on data roaming for it. Your own SIM stays in the phone for calls and SMS. Data-only: the eSIM has no phone number. Requires an eSIM-compatible, carrier-unlocked phone. ## An Australia eSIM for travellers from the UK One plan covers the whole country, from Sydney and Melbourne to the Gold Coast, Perth and the road up to Cairns. Install it before you leave the UK: after a flight of 17 hours or more, the last thing you want is a SIM counter queue. It is data only, so you keep your UK number for banking texts, and calls and messages go through WhatsApp or FaceTime as usual. ## Getting there from the UK The only non-stop flight is Qantas from Heathrow to Perth, at around 17 and a half hours. Everything else stops on the way - British Airways and Qantas fly to Sydney via Singapore, about 23 hours in all. ## You need a visa, and you apply before you fly British citizens need permission to enter Australia, but for a holiday it is quick: the eVisitor (subclass 651) is free, or the ETA (subclass 601) through the Australian ETA app, which has an AUD 20 service charge. Either lets you stay up to three months on each visit. Apply only through the Australian government's own website or app: the eVisitor has no fee at all. On the plane you fill in an Incoming Passenger Card, and Australia's biosecurity rules are strict: declare food, plants and anything made from wood or animal products. This follows gov.uk (updated 19 March 2026) and the Department of Home Affairs pages, read on 8 October 2026. ## Time difference and plugs Sydney and Melbourne are nine hours ahead of the UK during British Summer Time and eleven hours ahead in the UK winter; Perth is seven to eight hours ahead. Queensland, Western Australia and the Northern Territory do not change their clocks, so the gap differs by state. Sockets are Australia's own angled two-pin type (type I), so a UK plug needs an adaptor. ## FAQ ### Do I need a visa for Australia with a British passport? Yes, but for a holiday you can get an eVisitor online for free, or an ETA through the official app for an AUD 20 service charge. Both allow stays of up to three months per visit. Apply before you fly. ### Do UK plugs work in Australia? No. Australia uses type I sockets, so you need an adaptor. The voltage, 230 V, is the same as in the UK. --- Source: https://www.esimpass.co.uk/esim/esim-australia - eSIMpass, Elemento Logico Lda, Portugal - help@esimpass.com
