Visa Cancellations | K & D Lawyers

Visa cancellation can feel devastating, especially if you are already living, working, or studying in Australia. Losing your visa affects your right to stay, your work and study, and your future chances of returning to Australia. If your visa has been cancelled, or you receive a notice from the Department that they are considering cancelling your visa, you must act quickly to review and understand your options. Your first step is to get experienced legal help before proceeding.

What Does A Visa Cancellation Mean?
When the Department of Home Affairs cancels a visa, it is formally ending your permission to hold that visa. This can happen while you are in Australia (onshore) or outside Australia (offshore). Once a visa is cancelled, you may:

Become unlawful in Australia (unless you receive a bridging visa).
You may be detained or become at risk of detention if you remain in Australia without another visa.
Face removal from Australia.
Face serious problems obtaining future visas, including re-entry bans or public interest criteria issues.
In many cases, you will receive written notification explaining why they are canceling your visa and what sections of the law they are using. That letter is vital for understanding your options and deadlines.
