Visa Cancellation and appeals

Similarly to visa refusal, visa cancellation and appeal can be reviewed by AAT by undertaking a fresh look at relevant facts, law, and policy and arrive at their own decision. Applicants whose visa is cancelled by the department are eligible in the majority of cases to approach AAT for review of their cancellation decision, including visa cancellation and appeals.

Possible visa cancellation reasons include:

• Character reasons (Criminal record)
• Visa conditions breached
• Incorrect or false information provided at the time of application
• Attendance or academic performance issues (Student visa)
• Breakdown of relationship (Partner visa)
• Withdrawal of sponsorship (Employer visa)

Procedure in Visa Cancellation Appeal:

• Review whether the application is eligible for review.
• Lodge an appeal with AAT within the specified time.
• Prepare and submit a legal submission with the help of existing and additional evidence.
• Attend a hearing if required.

If your visa has been cancelled and you believe the decision was unjust, you have the right to appeal the cancellation through the appropriate channels. Seeking legal assistance can be beneficial in navigating the appeals process and increasing the chances of a favorable outcome.”
