Why is a Visitor visa rejected.
Many applications for Visitor Visas are being rejected recently. The most common reason is “visa applicant does not meet the Genuine Temporary Entrant (GTE) criteria.”
Applicants must provide as much information as possible to show that they will not overstay, or choose to work, in Australia.
Examples of helpful information to provide with a visitor visa application:0
- Proof of funds available to support the visa applicant’s visit, such as bank statements, pay slips, letter of employment, statements showing a credit card limit, evidence of other income.
- Details of the purpose and duration of the visit, such as a letter of invitation from a relative or friend in Australia, travel itinerary, details of accommodation.
- Information about activities, ties, commitments or relationships in the home country of the visa applicant that would encourage a return at the end of a visit, for example:
- Confirmation of current enrolment in an educational institution.
- Evidence of properties or assets held in home country.
- Evidence of immediate family members and any dependants in home country.
- Evidence of current employment in home country and intention to return to that employment, for example a letter from your employer.
- Return ticket to home country.
- Information from other people who can confirm or support the intention of the visa applicant to stay temporarily in Australia.
- Any other information or documents that support your application.
