Visa Cancelled While You Are Overseas?
If your Australian visa was cancelled while you were abroad, you have a very limited window to ask the government to undo their decision. This is called a 'Revocation Request'.
Cancelled Without Notice
Under Section 128 of the Migration Act, a visa can be cancelled without prior notice if the visa holder is outside of Australia. You usually only find out when you receive a letter or try to board a flight.
Critical Deadline: You usually only have 28 days to respond. If you miss this, you might lose your visa forever.
The reason for cancellation can vary, but it often falls under Section 116 (providing wrong info, change in circumstances, or not complying with conditions).
