Why does Australia have little in the way of visa free travel?
score:13
Accepted answer
If you ignore the semantics of "Visa" v's "pre-approved Visa-like thing", then Australia is generally no different (or frequently better) than many other major countries.
For example, comparing Australia, the US, and Canada (based on their new regulations starting March 15, 2016).
Citizens allowed without any form of pre-approval :
- Australia - 1 country (New Zealand)
- Canada - 1 country (US)
- US - 2 countries (Canada + Bermuda)
Citizens allowed after electronic pre-authorization :
- Australia - 45 countries (eVisitor + ETA)
- Canada - ~50 countries (eTA)
- US - 38 countries (ESTA/VWP)
Citizens allowed apply for visa electronically :
- Australia - all but 4 countries
- Canada - All countries (?)
- US - 0

In Australia travellers that hold E.U. passport and other Country that you can find in this link do not need a real visa but just an easy for to fill up .
Most of the restriction are due to that the Autralian government try to limit as much as possible the immigration .
