Visas

[dentech]

Can anyone recommend a company to get a visa, for a holiday in Australia.
There seems to be such a lot, and so many different prices.
Thanks

You don't need a company. Assuming it's a normal holiday you can DIY for free - no charge

http://www.immi.gov.au/e_visa/visitors.htm is the site and you want an e-Visitor

Look here..

The service charge is Au$ 20,

If the service charge is $20, it's the wrong visa

You want an e Visitor, NOT an ETA. An e Visitor is free

Looking at the FAQ's for an e-visitor visa (free for EU citizens), the two weeks before travel, as in the pdf below...

There are a lot of companies offering to get the visa for you but they are all a scam, you can do it yourself by going direct to the official web site you have been directed to.

If you are booking with a travel agent they will arrange it for you, but its not had to do on line as other have said.

[dzug2]

But most travel agents (maybe not all) will charge you for doing it.

Thank you all. Done and dusted.
