The issue with the Australia ETA (Electronic Travel Authority) application app, where holders of new passports could not apply, has been resolved.
Since early April, the new passport issuance led to an inability to read the photo page, preventing ETA applications. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs had requested prompt action from the Australian side.
According to the Australian side, a notification was received on April 14 at 1:30 pm that the app modification was complete. They are advising users to reinstall the app before applying.
