well Brandon , I have done my homework here in Australia !!!! You are correct to a degree ! Yes you can get an E-Visa however the procedure here it seems you still have to front up to embassy !!!!

@Ning *****

yes Ning is a good idea , however totally depends on where you live ! According to embassy ( Sydney in this case ,) you have to appear in person ! For myself & many others is a logistical & financial nightmare ! ( 2 flights , taxis , accomodations & living expenses etc) Is cheaper & less frustrating to just get an agent!!
