Australian Visas Cancelled on Character Assessment.
Australian Visas can be cancelled where a Visa holder (Permanent or Temporary) no longer complies with the Australian Character requirements.
The most common Nationalities, where the Visa is cancelled on character grounds, seems to be New Zealand and United Kingdom, with 56% of the total cancellations between them.
This chart, from www.homeaffairs.gov.au/…/visa-cancellation shows the top ten countries for this event, during 2018.
The reasons for visa cancellation can vary from Drug Offences, Motoring Offences, Violence, and many other types of crime.
The following chart shows the most common crime types for this in 2018.
Character refusal will also lead to any un-decided visa applications being refused.
These figures are not include in the above charts.
