Visa cancellation in Australia occurs when the Department of Home Affairs or a tribunal decides to terminate a valid visa due to legal or regulatory concerns. This can happen before or after a visa is granted and may result in loss of lawful status, detention risks, or removal from Australia depending on the circumstances. Cancellation decisions are often made under strict provisions of the Migration Act and can have serious long-term consequences for future visa applications, whether the visa was cancelled in Australia or overseas.
There are no hidden costs for our services. Our fees are clearly set out in a fee agreement.

Initial consultation fees vary depending on the urgency and complexity of your matter, and typically include reviewing your visa status, assessing the cancellation notice, and advising on immediate next steps.
Government fees for tribunal or court review

Representation for Department submissions
Costs for preparing responses to the Department of Home Affairs depend on the amount of evidence required, the complexity of the cancellation grounds, and the level of legal drafting involved.
Tribunal and court representation costs
If your matter proceeds to the ART or court review, costs will vary based on the complexity of the case, preparation required, and whether expert evidence or multiple hearings are involved.
We provide urgent, strategic, and detailed legal support for visa cancellation matters.
