Am a Nigerian living in South Africa, with Nig passport. A friend is inviting me to Australia. She's sponsoring the entire trip. I just obtained my SA work permit and am preparing for the trip. Am planning to spend 3weeks in AU. My questions are follows:

1. With a newly issued SA work permit, will AU embassy grant me a tourist visa?
2. Am applying to visit for 3weeks, will AU give me 3weeks tourist visa or the usual 3months?

Thanks you...
