There are hundreds of different types of visas available in Australian depending on the applicant’s circumstances, such as the length of time that the client would like to stay in Australia, and the types of activities they would like to undertake while in the Australia (i.e. working, studying, tourism, marriage or competing in sporting events).
We can review your circumstances and assess your eligibility for a visa, and advise on the most appropriate visa options that matches your skills, experience, and family situation. This visa strategy often involves a plan for permanent residency.

Typically, most visa refusal decisions have the right to be appealed to the AAT or a Court. However, some visas do not have a right of appeal if they were lodged offshore and there is no sponsor in Australia.
The refusal notice will advise you:
• If you have the right to appeal your decision;
• The timeframe available to lodge your appeal; and
• The relevant appeal body your appeal should be directed to.
If your letter does not outline the above information, we suggest that you obtain legal advice.
The most common place to appeal a visa refusal decision to is the AAT. There are strict time limits when appealing to the AAT. It is very important to read monitor the appeal deadline in your visa refusal as the AAT appeal deadlines typically cannot be extended.
The reasons for a visa refusal can include the following deficiencies in an application:
• Did not meet the visa requirements when the visa application was lodged, or by the time a decision was made;
• Failed to provide complete information;
• Failed to respond to a request for further information;
• Failed to complete required steps of the visa application;
• Provided false or misleading information;
• Did not provide enough evidence to support the visa application; and/or
• Failed to meet the character grounds.
Your Immigration Lawyer will assess your circumstances to determine the most appropriate steps to take.
No, if you receive a visa refusal decision you do not receive a refund of the visa application fee.
Depending on the type of visa refusal, the Applicant will in most cases have 21 days to appeal the refusal to the AAT.
Depending on the reason(s) for refusal, and the nature of the visa application, you may have the opportunity of filing an appeal to the ATT to overturn a decision, particularly if there is additional supporting documents and evidence that was not part of the initial visa application.
Typically, an application for review must be filed within 35 days of the date of the migration decision. The Court may extend the time limit in some circumstances. If you require a time extension, you must request this as it is not automatic.
