Today, the editor would like to tell you what to do if your visa expires or if it is cancelled.
Although most of our friends don't have to worry about this problem, it's not certain when they will run into a "water reversal," and be prepared to be prepared for it.
You can first code, in case one day encounter visa expiration problem, do not rush to Google haystack needle-like collection of information.
The editor believes that most friends are very interested in visa issues, but when everyone is negligent, in case they accidentally forget the expiration date of the visa, or if the period of time is too busy, they forget about the expiration of the visa. Or what should I do if I cancel my visa by immigration? Will they be repatriated by immigration? Will you leave any bad records? Will it affect subsequent visa applications?
Listen to the editor slowly.
It is well known that if not for Australia's Citizen or PR, it is necessary to have a legal Australian visa to stay in Australia to live, study and work.
Visas other than PR are temporary visas, while most temporary visas indicate the date of approval of (date of grant) and the date of expiration of (length of stay/must not arrive after).
One exception to the visa, though, is to cross the bridge and sign (Bridging Visa),.
A bridge-crossing visa is a temporary non-substantive visa (Non-Substantive Visa), divided into five categories: a B C D E), which is used for the transition when the applicant's substantive visa is about to expire and another visa is being applied for.
Cross-bridge visa reserves the applicant's right to stay legally in Australia while the visa application is pending.
There is no clear time limit for the bridge-crossing visa, which will not automatically expire until the new visa is approved.
The most common type of cross-bridge visa is the bridge visa A (BVA), when the holder of the substantive visa (student visa, work visa, travel visa, etc.) submits a new visa application in Australia, the Migration Board automatically issues the BVA.
If the applicant's substantive visa is cancelled or the application is refused, the applicant can also automatically obtain the BVA. after filing an appeal with the AAT arbitral tribunal.
So this bridge visa A is the strongest visa to stay legally in Australia after the expiration of your visa.
The following editor will tell you about the three common visa expiration situations, and how to deal with the measures.
1, visa expiration
This is the most easily encountered visa situation.
Many children improperly remember the expiration time of their visa, or the wrong time led to their reaction to find that the visa has expired, in this case how to change it?
Don't worry. For student visa holders the visa expires within 28 days to legally extend the stay in Australia by applying for a new student visa.
In other words, as long as you re-submit a visa application within 28 days after the expiration of your visa, you can automatically obtain a bridge visa and continue to stay in Australia legally.
However, it is worth noting that this operation can only be used once! After all, you did not renew your visa reasonably before the expiration of your visa. The immigration service has only once, that is, the once-in-a-lifetime Grace Period..
In addition, it is also important to note that this operation is also limited to applying for a student visa.
If the visa expires and there is no suitable visa renewal, then leave Australia within 28 days after the expiration of the visa, otherwise it will be considered a deliberate stay in Australia "black people", will have a bad impact on future visa applications.
2. Visa cancelled / new visa denied
This situation is more cumbersome than the simple expiration of a visa, one of us.
The first is the cancellation of the visa.
If some friends have violated visa regulations or some local Australian laws and regulations leading to the cancellation of existing visas, generally within 28 days after receiving the notice of visa cancellation, If you can reapply for a new visa, you can get a bridge visa and stay in Australia legally.
However, this situation is limited to substantive visas (student, work, travel, etc.). If the visa is cancelled with a bridge visa, it is necessary to leave the country and apply for it abroad.
What if you were denied a new visa with a cross-bridge visa?
The most common response in this case is to apply for an AAT appeal.
AAT is an administrative appeals tribunal set up under the laws of Australia, (Administrative Appeals Tribunal), if it has the support of AAT, the rejected visa application can be retried, and if the AAT maintains the decision of the visa officer, it can also continue to appeal. Until the appeal to High Court, throughout the appeal, your visa will maintain the status of the previous visa.
However, it is worth noting that AAT appeal is also time-bound, generally in your rejection letter will indicate how many days can apply for AAT appeal, if missed this time limit, even if the last of the way to appeal can not get through, you can only leave the country.
3, visa expired for more than 28 days
In this case. To tell the truth, there is no way for the editor to do so. So many of the above methods to allow us to stay in Australia are useless, or if the visa has expired more than 28 days before it is dealt with / not left the country, it is appropriate that it is illegal for the "black people".
In this situation, the editor suggested that we should not go to the dark, do not move the idea of always black in Australia, after all, we live closely related to the tax, banking, education, health care, real estate all need a legal identity.
If more than 28 days have really become "black people", the editor still suggests you go to the visa center to apply for a bridge-crossing visa E, and then return to China to accept the penalty of "staying illegally in Australia within three years and not applying for any Australian visa for a period of three years."
Doesn't it sound cruel, but that's what the law says.
Therefore, the editor once again urges you to pay attention to the validity of your visa, do not "step on" renewal, must have sufficient time to apply for a new visa, let alone try to challenge the law, and stay illegally in the least worthwhile way.
