Australia will stop using paper border cards for visitors. The government has set aside funding to switch to electronic processes this year. Travellers must now fill in details remotely before their flight in. They no longer fill out forms while flying or at the airport. The change aims to speed up border checks and cut down red tape. Major news outlets reported the plan last week, drawing wide attention across travel and policy desks. Passengers should submit their information in advance of travel to Australia. The border agency says this brings entry systems up to date entries. All international airports will use the e-system by year end, completing the federal rollout across every incoming terminal.
