Review Appeals

Things do not always go as planned. A visa refusal can be a stressful and overwhelming experience, but everybody deserves a second chance. Almost all onshore refusals have appeal rights. The Administrative Review Tribunal (ART) is an independent merits review body that reviews certain decisions made by the Department of Home Affairs. This means you may be able to lodge an application with the ART to review the decision made by the Department. Once the Tribunal reviews your application, it may: Affirm the decision – The ART agrees with the original decision and your visa remains refused. Remit the matter – The ART sends your case back to the Department for reassessment by a different decision-maker. In many cases, the Department will reconsider the application in accordance with the Tribunal's directions. You may be entitled to a refund of 50% of the ART application fee. Set aside the decision – The ART overturns the original decision and substitutes a new decision. You may be entitled to a refund of 50% of the ART application fee. No jurisdiction – The ART does not have the legal authority to review the original decision. At Visacraft, we assist clients with ART review applications by assessing review rights, preparing submissions, gathering supporting evidence, and providing professional guidance throughout the review process. When it comes to review applications, time is of the essence. Strict deadlines apply, and failing to lodge an application within the prescribed timeframe may result in the loss of your review rights.

Australian Citizenship Application

Becoming an Australian citizen is an important milestone and the final step in many migration journeys. At Visacraft, we assist eligible permanent residents in preparing and lodging Australian citizenship applications, ensuring they meet all legislative requirements before applying. To apply for Australian citizenship by conferral, you must generally have lived in Australia for at least four years on a valid visa, including at least one year as a permanent resident immediately before applying. In addition, you must not have spent more than 12 months outside Australia during the last four years, and no more than 90 days outside Australia in the 12 months immediately before your application. We can help assess your eligibility and calculate whether you meet the citizenship residence requirements. An important part of the process is the Australian Citizenship Test, which most applicants are required to pass before citizenship can be granted. The test consists of multiple-choice questions designed to assess your knowledge of Australia, its values, and the responsibilities and privileges of citizenship.

Resident Return Visas

As an Australian permanent resident, you can remain in Australia indefinitely. However, many permanent residents are unaware that their visa's travel facility is generally valid for only five years. Once this travel facility expires, you may not be able to leave and re-enter Australia as a permanent resident unless you become an Australian citizen or obtain a new travel facility through a Resident Return Visa (RRV).

The Subclass 155 and 157 Resident Return Visas allow eligible permanent residents to maintain or restore their travel rights. The length of the travel facility granted depends on your circumstances:

  • Five-year RRV (Subclass 155) – Generally available if you have spent at least 730 days (two years) in Australia as a permanent resident within the last five years.

  • One-year RRV (Subclass 155) – May be granted if you have spent less than two years in Australia but can demonstrate substantial ties that are beneficial to Australia.

  • Three-month RRV – May be available in certain circumstances where you left Australia shortly after being granted permanent residency.

  • Subclass 157 RRV – Available in limited circumstances for applicants who do not meet the requirements for a Subclass 155 visa.

At Visacraft, we can assess your eligibility, advise on the most suitable RRV pathway, and assist with preparing and lodging your application to help you maintain your permanent resident status and travel rights.
