Australian Visa
Organising a holiday or business trip can be stressful enough without the added stress of getting a visa.
We provide a friendly and efficient service. So why not let us take the pressure off so you can relax. As well as assisting with France schengen visas, we also assist with Australian short stay visas.
Here at Nexus, we want your experience to be like you expect your holiday to be, relaxing and stress free.
We can assist with tourist visas to Australia. See information below.
A visa is an officially approved document issued by authorised bodies for the government, in accordance with the laws of the country, to foreign citizens applying to enter, leave or transit through the country. In line with international law and practice, any sovereign state is entitled to make its own decisions as to whether to allow a foreign citizen to enter or leave its borders, and to issue or refuse to issue a visa, or to revoke an issued visa according to its own laws.
Based on these laws and regulations, Embassy Consular officials may decide on the type of visa, number of entries, validity period and duration of stay, and may also refuse a visa application or revoke an issued visa.
All visa fees once paid are non-refundable irrespective of the outcome of the visa application and duration granted
