Visa Cancellations

A visa cancellation is one of the most serious actions the Department of Home Affairs can take against a visa holder. If your visa is cancelled, you may lose the legal right to remain in Australia and risk detention or removal. At MyVisa Lawyers, I help clients respond quickly and strategically to visa cancellation notices, ensuring every option to protect their future is explored.

What Is a Visa Cancellation?

A visa cancellation occurs when the Department decides that you no longer meet the conditions for holding a visa. Common grounds include:

• Character issues under section 501 of the Migration Act.
• Breaching visa conditions (such as work or study restrictions).
• Providing false or misleading information on your application.
• Health or security concerns.
• Sponsorship or relationship breakdowns.

Visa cancellations can happen while your application is pending, after your visa has been granted, or even at the border upon arrival.

Who Is This For?

Our visa cancellation services are for:

• Temporary visa holders facing cancellation on character or condition grounds.
• Permanent residents who have received a notice of intention to cancel (NOICC).
• International students and skilled workers at risk of cancellation.
• Families and partners concerned about the impact of a cancellation on their future.
