Visa Subclasses that are Excluded for Section 48 Bar
The Section 48 Bar restricts certain visa applicants from lodging further applications if they have had their visa refused or cancelled while in Australia under specific circumstances. However, not all visa types are subject to this restriction. There are certain visa subclasses that are excluded from the Section 48 bar, which allow affected applicants to apply for new visa applications despite the previous visa refusals or cancellations.
Which Visa Subclasses Are Excluded from Section 48 Bar?
Protection visas
Territorial Asylum (Residence) (Subclass 800)
Border (Temporary) (Subclass 773)
Child (Residence)
Skilled Employer Sponsored Regional (SESR) (Provisional) (Subclass 494)
Why Knowing if You are Impacted by Section 48 Bar Is Important?
Knowing whether you are subject to Section 48 restrictions can impact your planning for future visa applications. If you have a history of visa refusal and/or visa cancellation, you may be restricted from obtaining any new visa applications. It is best to seek professional legal advice or explore options such as applying for an offshore visa.
