Frequently Asked Questions
My visa application was refused — what can I do?
In most cases you have 21–70 days to appeal to the AAT depending on visa type. Act quickly — missing the deadline means you lose your right of appeal.
Can a criminal conviction affect my visa?
Yes. Character requirements apply to most Australian visas. We can advise on your specific risk and represent you in cancellation or refusal proceedings.
