Tips to Avoid Future Invalid Applications
Submitting a visa application can be daunting, especially when following the Department of Home Affairs guidelines and requirements. Errors or missing information or documents can lead to an invalid application, delays, or even a visa refusal. We have compiled some essential tips to ensure your visa application process is smooth.
What Can I Do to Avoid Future Invalid Applications?
Read the Requirements Carefully
As each visa subclass has unique eligibility criteria, you should thoroughly understand the guidelines and requirements.
This includes details about documentation, eligibility and any time-sensitive conditions.
Having a strong understanding of what is expected can help you avoid any costly mistakes or errors.
Use Official Resources
Refer to the Department of Home Affairs checklist for your visa application.
Ensure all documents and information meet the specified standards as required, such as location.
Prepare Documents and Complete Forms Accurately
Verify all information in your visa application form is correct and consistent to prevent any unfavourable outcome.
Use the latest versions of visa application forms and ensure all documents are within their validity period.
Double Check Deadline
Many applications are declared invalid due to being submitted at the wrong time.
It is important to ensure your current visa covers the required period until your new application is lodged and processed.
Lodging your visa application within the specific deadline helps to prevent you from losing your legal status as an unlawful non-citizen.
Submit the Accurate Amount
When lodging your visa application, ensure the payment you made is the correct and latest visa application charge (VAC).
Seek Professional Assistance
Migration legislation and policy change frequently, and it may be difficult to get the latest updates. Consult with an Immigration Lawyer for tailored advice and ensure your application is complete, valid and aligned with the latest migration laws.
