What if my visa application is refused or my visa is cancelled?

January 25, 2023

If your visa is refused or cancelled, you might be able to have the decision reviewed by one of the following review bodies:

  • Merits Review Tribunal (MRT)
  • Refugee Review Tribunal (RRT)

or

  • Administrative Appeals Tribunal (AAT).

The relevant review body is dependent on your individual circumstances. Not all decisions to refuse or cancel a visa are reviewable by these review bodies.

You cannot apply to have a decision reviewed by the AAT if the Minister for Immigration and Border Protection personally decides to refuse or cancel your visa under section 501 of the Migration Act 1958.
