Status if an Australian Visa is cancelled

If you have been notified that you have had your visa cancelled then you must act quickly. If you are intending to leave Australia as a result of the cancellation, you will need to go to the Department of Immigration and Border Protection to arrange the grant of a bridging visa.

If you wish to stay on in Australia, you will have a limited time frame to appeal the cancellation to the Migration Review Tribunal, Administrative Appeals Tribunal or Federal Courts, if eligible to do so.

If you do not appeal the decision, and stay in Australia past 28 days from the date of cancellation without a bridging visa, then you also face being banned for 3 years from re-entering Australia.

If you have received a decision cancelling your visa, or a notice of intention to consider cancellation, then contact us immediately as delay may mean you lose the opportunity to have your visa reinstated.
