I just checked requirements and the application process for a tourist visa from Nigeria. It's not far from applying for an O-A Visa (except for financial requirements) from for example Europe,and this is just a simple tourist visa. 😁

@Craig ******
you don't need visa if coming for up to 60 days if Australian. What passport do you have?Craig *******
@Lynnette ******
2 years ago you needed to lodge electronically. Australian passport. Only if you wanted a tourist visa of course. Not exemption. The rules change a lot.Max *************
@Craig ******
It's been quite a while since they changed the visa exempt from 30 to 60 days.Reply to
