Australia lists countries eligible for free visa
Meanwhile, Legit.ng recently reported that Australia’s Department of Home Affairs published a list of 36 European countries whose citizens qualify for the free eVisitor visa, which allows multiple visits within 12 months, with each stay lasting up to three months.
The list does not include any African country, meaning Nigerians and other African nationals must apply through alternative visa routes to visit Australia.
