Visa cancellations

Advice when a visa is being considered for cancellation, or has been cancelled.

OUR EXPERTISE

Cancellations

A cancellation starts with the power the Department is using. Some powers give a chance to respond first. Some are mandatory if the ground is made out.

A notice of intention to cancel

The notice sets out the ground and the time to respond.
The response has to meet that ground: the facts, the discretion, and the hardship, where the power allows discretion.
A response that does not address the ground is of little use.

After a cancellation

Some cancellations can be revoked. Some can be reviewed by the Administrative Review Tribunal. Some have no merits review.
The power that was used decides which of those is open.
A bridging visa, and the right to keep working or studying, depend on the cancellation and on the timing.

Time limits

Strict time limits apply. They are set out in our FAQ on refusals, cancellations and appeals. Get advice before the date.
The date on the notice is the date that matters.
We advise on the response, on review, and on the status of the person while that is underway.
