Visa Expiry

Letting your Australian visa expire without taking action can place you in serious legal risk. If your visa has expired, you may become unlawful, lose access to essential services, and even face detention or removal from Australia. At MyVisa Lawyers, I guide individuals and families through the complex process of managing visa expiry, helping you explore your options before it’s too late.

What Is Visa Expiry?

Every Australian visa has an expiry date or condition that determines how long you can stay lawfully in the country. If your visa expires and you have not applied for another visa or a bridging visa, you may become an unlawful non-citizen under the Migration Act. This can have serious consequences, including restrictions on future visas and re-entry bans.

Understanding your visa conditions and acting before your expiry date is crucial to protecting your future in Australia.
