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
