You might currently be preparing your Australian visa application and collecting all documentary evidence required for it.
At this stage it would be important to consider variety of factors that could have negative implications on your application.

Below are the top 4 reasons why your visa application could get rejected.

1. Character Concern
You must be of good character to live or visit Australia.
Your visa application may be rejected, if you have a substantial criminal record such as:
– Imprisonment for more than a year
– Conviction of sexual crime involving a child
– Association with or being a member of a group that is suspected of being involved in criminal activity

It is extremely important to declare one’s criminal history because a visa that is already granted could be cancelled later if it is found that one has failed to make a complete declaration.

2. Health Concern
If you are coming to Australia on a temporary visa (Visitor or Work Visa), then depending on your nationality a health check might be requested.
Regardless of your nationality, a health check is mandatory if you are applying for a permanent residency.
Should you or any secondary applicant have
– HIV or
– Intellectual or functional impairment or
– Renal disease or failure or
– Cancer,
which may result in an assessment by the Medical Officer of Commonwealth indicating that significant cost (AU$49,000 or more) to the health care or community services will be incurred to manage your condition, then your visa could be rejected.

3. Providing inaccurate Information
An Australian visa application can be refused if you are unable to provide satisfactory evidence with regards to your identity or if you have provided bogus documentation or information that is false and misleading.
An applicant faces a 10 year bar period from applying for an Australian Visa if they receive a refusal on grounds on not being able to provide satisfactory evidence with regards to their identity.
A bar period of 3 year applies in the case of a visa refusal that resulted from provision of falsified or bogus documentation.

4. Misunderstanding of Legislation
Australian visa application system is quite complex and often the information that is available directly on the internet is not enough for an applicant to proceed with preparation of an application by themselves.
In order to save costs many applicants lodge their application on their own rather and this can result in misunderstanding of requirements and eventual failure of the lodged application.
Seeking advice of registered migration consultants is vital as they are well versed with the regulations and legislations related to different visa types.
