Here's something that might surprise people..... it certainly surprised me!
I applied for the Non-O Vise on basis of retirement in AUS via the official eVisa website last Friday at 1942hrs . The time is now 1202 Monday and it has just been emailed to me.
Can't complain about that!
It was quite a simple and easy process once I had all the documents in order - just a few click, drags & drops and done in less than 15mins.
