Australian ETA with Reckless Driving (misdemeanor)

Upvote:1

Per the Australian embassy to the US, if you have criminal convictions, you will need to apply for a Subclass 600 Visitor visa:

If you have had any criminal convictions in any country, you should obtain police checks and other relevant character documents then apply for a Visitor visa (subclass 600), rather than an ETA to be assessed against the character requirements.

(Note that while this is the US site, the same advice applies to all nationalities.)

Per the character requirements, it is unlikely that a reckless driving misdemeanour in college (how long ago?) would constitute a "substantial criminal record" that would prevent you from visiting, but you'll need a bunch of documentation to prove you've kept your nose clean since then.
