What are the Consequences of Visa Cancellation?
A visa cancellation can be an overwhelming and stressful experience, especially if you are living, working, or studying in Australia and aim to make it your forever home. Understanding the cancellation reasons, the consequences, and the steps you can take to address the situation is extremely important.
Why is My Australian Visa Cancelled?
There is a number of reasons why a visa can be cancelled, including but not limited to:
If you are breaching your visa conditions, such as overstaying a visa, working without any work permission, or failing to meet the study requirements.
If you provided false or misleading information during the visa application process.
Failing to meet character requirements, such as having a substantial criminal record or a pending criminal charge or failing to meet the character test.

What are the Immediate Consequences of Australian Visa Cancellation?
Once your visa is cancelled, there will be a few consequences that will be in effect immediately:
You may receive a Notice of Intention to Consider Cancellation (NOICC) and have a limited period to respond to the Department.
In some circumstances, you may receive a cancellation notice instead, which will be in effect immediately. Then, you will be an unlawful non-citizen.
Authorities may detain you and arrange for your removal from Australia.
A cancelled visa may result in a temporary or permanent ban on re-entering Australia, such as PIC 4014.
A visa cancellation can negatively affect your chances of applying for and obtaining visas such as Section 48 bar and PIC 4013.
