Mistakes or Rule Changes Can Put Your Visa at Risk
Most visa cancellations happen because of incorrect information or a change in personal circumstances. Understanding these sections is key to protecting your status in Australia.
Section 109: Incorrect Information
The law is very strict about accuracy. Even if you made a small mistake or a friend filled out your form incorrectly, you are still responsible.
- Giving wrong or false answers on your visa application.
- Using fake, forged, or stolen documents.
- Forgetting to tell the Department when your situation changes (like your address or job).
- Providing incorrect information on your incoming passenger card.
Section 116: General Power to Cancel
This section allows the government to cancel your visa for a wide range of reasons that aren't necessarily related to your application.
- Breaking the rules (conditions) of your visa.
- You are no longer eligible for the visa (e.g., your relationship ended).
- You are not a 'genuine' student or visitor.
- You are considered a risk to the Australian community.
