how to renew tourist visa?

[aakanshya]

Hello everyone,
I am from Nepal. I got tourist visa in 2014 december and i visited USA, first time in oct 2015 stayed for a month then in oct 2016 stayed for about 6 months and went back. I applied for student visa and got denied for three times in 2017 and 2018. Then I applied for student visa for Australia and got accepted. My classes in Australia start from July 22 2019. Currently I am visiting USA and will leave on July 14 2019

My tourist (b2) visa will expire on 2019 december. Can I renew my visa from Australia? Or Do I have to go back to my home country (Nepal) to renew my visa? And what is the process?

The process will be same as what you did initially when you got that visa.

It is recommended to get it done in your home country, but not mandatory, you can renew it is Australia as well.

Check, if you are eligible for the dropbox & can skip the interview to renew your visa.
