No. An eVisitor visa can only be applied for either through the Australian Government or through a private visa agent. At Australian Visa Advice we offer eVisitor visa processing.
How many times can you visit Australia on an eVisitor visa?
An eVisitor visa is usually granted with multiple entries, and this means that, in theory, you can travel in and out of Australia as many times as you want within the validity period of the visa. The conditions of the eVisitor visa usually require that you must leave Australia at least every 3 months, so if you want to get full use out of your 1 year visa then you will have to depart Australia at least 3 times if not more.
