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. 😁

 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.
