A trip to Australia from Nigeria is usually made on the Visitor visa (subclass 600), Tourist stream, used for holidays, visiting family and friends, or short business visitor activities. The whole process is online: there is no embassy file to drop off and, in most cases, no interview.
What Australia looks for is summed up in one phrase that appears throughout its rules: the Genuine Temporary Entrant requirement. The department needs to be satisfied that your visit is genuine and temporary, and that you will leave when the visa ends. Everything you upload should support that.
You lodge through an ImmiAccount on the Department of Home Affairs website. Prepare:
You may also be asked for biometrics or a health examination, and travel health insurance is wise to include.
The subclass 600 Tourist stream base charge is around AUD $190 as of 2026, paid online when you lodge. Additional charges can apply for extra applicants. Fees change, so check the Department of Home Affairs site for the current amount.
Australia does not fix a single timeline. Depending on volumes, decisions commonly take from a couple of weeks to a couple of months. Use the department’s processing-time guidance for the current estimate and apply early rather than close to your travel date.
Most Nigerian refusals come back to the Genuine Temporary Entrant assessment:
None of these is about being “unqualified.” They are about how clearly your application tells a genuine, temporary story, which is exactly what good preparation fixes.
We build your subclass 600 application around the Genuine Temporary Entrant test: a clear purpose-of-travel letter, clean and consistent finances, and well-presented ties to Nigeria.

The Visitor visa (subclass 600, Tourist stream) base application charge is around AUD $190 as of 2026. You pay online when you lodge. Australian visa fees are reviewed regularly, so confirm the current charge on the Department of Home Affairs website before applying.
You apply online by creating an ImmiAccount, completing the Visitor visa (subclass 600) application, uploading your supporting documents and paying the fee. There is usually no in-person interview, though you may be asked to provide biometrics or attend a health examination.
Australia must be satisfied that you intend a genuine, temporary visit and will leave when your visa ends. You show this with strong ties to Nigeria, a clear purpose of travel and finances that fit your stated plans. It is the Australian equivalent of proving you will return.
Processing times vary by season and application volume, commonly ranging from a couple of weeks to a couple of months. Check the current estimate on the Department of Home Affairs site and lodge well ahead of your travel dates.
Travel health insurance is strongly recommended and sometimes requested. A health examination may be required depending on your length of stay and circumstances. The department will tell you in your application if a medical is needed.
