Apply For Australian Visa In Nigeria
Australian High Commission Nigeria opened the application portal for Nigeria citizens who wish to visit Australia. The Australian Immigration Department makes it compulsory for one to apply online and when doing so, they are advised to carry all the necessary documents to avoid being refused by the department.
It is a lot easier for you to migrate to Australia through the Australian skilled visa if you are from Nigeria. This is the most ideal type of visa for Nigerians because it makes migrating to Australia easy. You will have no troubles acquiring this visa because of your status as a Nigerian in this case.
Visas and Migration
The Australian Government does not provide visa services at the Australian High Commission in Abuja.
The preferred visa application method is online lodgement. To start an application, you will first need to create your own online account, known as ImmiAccount. ImmiAccount lets you create and manage all your online visa applications in one place. You can use your account to:
- lodge and pay for your visa application;
- continue a saved application;
- attach documents if required; and
- check the progress of your application.
Alternative to online lodgement – Lodgement via TLScontact
If you are not able to lodge the visa application online for any reason, you may lodge a paper application for some visa types at a TLScontact Australian Visa Application Centre (AVAC) in Nigeria. Please note that an additional service fee is payable to TLScontact if you wish to use this service. There will be a service fee payable for the collection of biometrics at an AVAC, which is a requirement for residents in certain countries. For further information visit: TLScontact
