kkhcivil Posted October 2, 2023 Share Posted October 2, 2023 Hi dear members, Could anyone please interpret " Has the applicant ever had a visa for Australia or any other country refused or cancelled? " which is in any Visa application form. What are the differences between "Visa cancellation" and "Visa refusal"? If an off-shore person's visa application was refused, does he need to answer "YES" to the above mentioned question? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peach Posted October 2, 2023 Share Posted October 2, 2023 Refused means the visa was never issued. Cancelled means after the visa was issued it was later withdrawn. If a visa has been refused, yes you would have to answer "YES". 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Elliott Posted October 2, 2023 Share Posted October 2, 2023 A visa refusal is where the application for a visa is unsuccessful and thus, the visa was not granted/issued. A cancellation is where the initial visa application was successful, but the visa was subsequently cancelled. In the scenario you describe, the applicant must answer YES. If the response provided is false, every likelihood is that the false answer will be detected and this could cause further consequences down the track. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TravelingJason Posted October 3, 2023 Share Posted October 3, 2023 The answer is Yes if you've ever been denied a visa. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
