The Tribunal can review the decision if the Department of Immigration and Border Protection has refused a visa. The appeals include decisions about visitors, partner, student, family, skilled migrants, and all other forms of visas, other than the protection visa. All the appeals follow a strict time limit which depends on the type of decision taken against your visa application and circumstances. It is important to note that the time limits can’t be extended under any situation and the individuals should get immediate legal advice after the decision has been received. Moreover, if the applicant loses at the Tribunal, he/she can appeal to the Federal Court.

There are different appeal processes for the protection visa in the Tribunal, depending on the applicant and circumstances. If the applicant is in immigrant detention, the appeal has a time limit of 7 days. If the applicant is not in detention, the appeal has a time limit of 28 days.

If this has happened based on character grounds, the applicant can appeal to the Tribunal. The appeal can be made only after receiving the ‘Notice of Intention to Consider Cancellation’. In this case, too, there is a strict time limit of 9 days from the date of the decision. There are other considerations if your visa is mandatorily cancelled.
