vics1987 Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 Hi Everyone I am new to this site and am looking for some help/advise. Is there a timescale where you can re-apply for a visitor visa after being refused.(I have heard 5 years?) A friend of mine was refused a visitor visa due to some silly mistakes he made around 4 and a half years ago. Can he re-apply when the 5 years have passed? Would love to hear from anyone who has any information on this or been in a similar situation. Thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulhand Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 Not sure where you heard 5 years? The answer would depend on what the “silly mistakes” were. Per your other post, you should get some professional advice on a way forward. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Stephens Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 (edited) There is policy regarding a wait before re-applying for a visa, but this refers to a temporary visa once you departed Australia with unlawful status. It does not appear to apply in this case. But your main issue may be the future (or current) Partner visa processing. The character issue may affect that and so you need to get a profession opinion on the character issue. You may also have grounds to appeal the visitor visa (depending on what type of Partner visa you can lodge). It may be better to resolve character issues at the AAT with respect to the visitor visa, then use that decision to support the character issues on his Partner application. You can email me the subclass 600 decision and we can then comment. Regards Edited January 10, 2020 by David Stephens update Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
