Frequently Asked Questions
How long does an Australian visa take to process?
Processing times vary depending on visa type, completeness of documentation, and Department of Home Affairs workload. Some temporary visas may take weeks, while permanent visas may take several months or longer.
Can I apply for a partner visa while in Australia?
Yes, if you hold an eligible visa, you may apply for an onshore partner visa. You must meet relationship and eligibility requirements under Australian migration law.
What happens if my visa expires in Australia?
If your visa expires, you may become unlawful. You should seek urgent legal advice to explore options such as applying for another visa or resolving your status.
Can I appeal a visa refusal?
Many visa refusals can be reviewed by the Administrative Review Tribunal. Strict deadlines apply, often within days of refusal, so immediate action is required.
Can a visa be cancelled after it is granted?
Yes. Visas can be cancelled for reasons including character concerns, breach of conditions, or providing incorrect information.
Do I need an immigration lawyer to apply for a visa?
While it is not mandatory, an immigration lawyer can help ensure eligibility requirements are met, documentation is accurate, and risks of refusal are minimised.
What is the difference between a migration agent and an immigration lawyer?
