Present in this place or not visible in any place? (7)

I believe the answer is:

nowhere

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'not visible in any place?' is the definition.
'nowhere' can be an answer for 'place?' (I have seen 'Nonexistent place' mean 'nowhere' so perhaps 'place' could also mean 'nowhere'). I'm unsure of the 'not visible in any' bit.

'present in this place' is the wordplay.
'present' becomes 'now' (both can mean the current period).
'in this place' becomes 'here' (synonyms).
'now'+'here'='NOWHERE'

'or' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for nowhere that I've seen before include "Nonexistent place" , "no prospect of success" , "Erewhon (anag.)" , "Miles behind!" , "insignificant place?" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
