An e-visa for Australia is filed entirely online: there is no counter to visit and no file to hand in. The only address that matters is the official portal.
- The application, the supporting documents and the payment all go through the official portal, from any country.

Using an online service
You never have to use an intermediary. If you would rather have a service fill in and file the application online for you before departure, iVisa does it for a service fee, charged on top of the official fees. It does not change the decision.

You live in Nigeria on another passport?
The regime follows your nationality, not where you live. If you reside in Nigeria but travel on another country's passport, the rule on this page is not yours. Filing usually still happens from your country of residence, at the post competent for it, but the requirement itself comes from your passport.

Common mistakes
A common mistake is confusing the maximum stay of 3 months with visa validity or processing time. Another is using an unofficial intermediary website that may add extra charges. Use Australia’s official portal and check the requirements that apply to holders of a Nigerian passport.
