For those of us who have visiting Australia on the bucket list, it’s been a long two years.
Since Covid-19 first started to affect us back in March 2020, Australia introduced a strict entry policy for visitors.
Exemptions were only in place for Australian citizens, permanent residents and immediate family members of Australian citizens or permanent residents.
But finally, Australia will open up its borders again to vaccinated tourists and other visa holders from February 21, 2022.
Unvaccinated visa holders will still need a valid travel exemption to enter Australia.

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
