The Australian Migration Act and its associated regulations meticulously define visa conditions, categorizing them into “mandatory” and “discretionary” under the provisions of Schedule 2 and Schedule 8. Specifically, Regulation 2.05 delineates these conditions for each visa subclass, identifying those that are obligatory upon the visa holder and those that may be applied at discretion. Further complexity is added with Regulation 2.40A, introduced in April 2015, which mandates specific conditions for Special Purpose Visas, making them compulsory without room for discretionary application. This regulation underscores the nuanced nature of visa conditions, indicating that not all are encompassed within Schedule 8. This omission includes certain conditions like the “first entry date” for migrant visas, illustrating the layered and detailed approach to visa regulation and the importance of understanding these subtleties for compliance and legal navigation within the Australian immigration framework.

Have you received a Natural Justice Letter?
The people at immigration are not so bad. Usually, you will receive the letter under section 57 of the Migration Act when a case officer has formed a view that they should refuse your visa application.
The Department is being kind. The purpose of the section 57 letter (also known as a Natural Justice Letter) is to allow you to recover from a likely refusal position.
It could be that the decision-maker has missed something fundamental. Or something critical to the application simply does not appear on the Departmental file.
It could also be that the case officer is not satisfied that you have met very basic requirements. This could be either at the time of your application or the time of the Department’s decision.
This letter is an opportunity for the case officer to be fair with you. Yes, they can be nice! What you need to do is to ensure that your application does have merits given the concern or multiple concerns raised by the departmental officer in their letter.
If your application does not have merit, you might be better off withdrawing your application.
Whether you should respond to the Natural Justice Letter or you should simply withdraw the application it’s something that requires careful consideration.
One thing that I see all the time is people providing far more information than is required in relation to the letter.
Providing the wrong information or too much information or information responses that are not properly worded, or which do not address the point being raised will certainly prejudice your already weak position.
