Visa Refusals

Receiving a visa refusal from the Department of Home Affairs can be stressful and overwhelming. Many refusals happen due to avoidable errors, missing documents, or misunderstanding complex immigration rules. At MyVisa Lawyers, I specialise in helping individuals and families respond to refusals with clear legal strategies, whether through appeal, review, or a carefully prepared fresh application.

What Is a Visa Refusal?

A visa refusal occurs when the Department decides an application does not meet the legal requirements of the Migration Act and Regulations. Reasons may include:

• Not meeting health or character requirements.
• Failure to provide sufficient evidence of eligibility.
• Sponsorship or financial issues.
• Incorrect or inconsistent information on your application.

Once a refusal is issued, strict deadlines apply. In most cases, you only have a limited time to lodge an appeal with the Administrative Appeals Tribunal (AAT) or consider alternative legal remedies.

Who Is This For?

Our visa refusal services are designed for:

• Individuals whose student, skilled, or partner visa applications have been refused.
• Families dealing with sponsorship refusals.
• Employers whose sponsored worker visa applications have been declined.
• Applicants unsure of their next steps after receiving a refusal notice.
