On a Visitor visa in Australia and wondering what comes next?
Are you thinking about applying for another visa? Do all the dates, numbers and conditions on your visa grant letter leave you asking: Am I allowed to apply? Can I stay in Australia while I wait for the next visa? What happens if it’s refused? That uncertainty can be stressful. What if you had clear answers to those questions?
Your current visa is only the starting point
The important question is not simply what visa you hold. Your visa conditions, how long you have been in Australia and your personal circumstances all shape what options may be available to you next.
How long can I stay?
I identify the period you are permitted to remain in Australia, the important dates and any timeframes that may affect your next steps.
Can I apply in Australia?
I assess whether your current visa and its conditions affect your ability to make another visa application while you are in Australia.
What conditions apply to me?
Visa conditions can affect what you can do while you are in Australia and what options may be available to you.
What happens while I wait?
If another visa application may be available, I explain what may happen to your immigration status while that application is being decided.
What are the risks?
I identify the legal, practical and evidentiary issues that may affect the pathway you are considering.
Visitor visa questions, answered
Your current visa, its conditions, your circumstances and what you want to do next all matter. These are some of the questions I regularly assess.
