Visa implications
There are lots of myths around visa cancellation, particularly when it comes to seeking legal or medical advice, tenancy and bond disputes, mental health help or drug and alcohol related rehab, and being a bystander during a physical altercation or emergency and calling emergency services for help. These are simply untrue. None of these things will impact your visa. Only the Minister can cancel your visa.
Your visa may be cancelled if:
- you were non-compliant with visa conditions
- you did not meet Home Affairs' character requirements
- you provided false information on your visa application
If you are in Australia or immigration clearance we will usually notify you of their intention to consider cancelling your visa and give you the opportunity to put forward reasons why your visa should not be cancelled. More information.
Contact an International Student Advisor if you have questions or your visa has been threatened.
