The Minister for Immigration has several powers to cancel visas held by non-citizens under the Migration Act 1958 (Cth). The most common powers of cancellation are:
- providing incorrect information [s 109]
- non-compliance with a condition of the visa [s 116]
- character grounds – i.e. failure to pass the character test [s 501]
There are also cancellation powers specific to particular categories of visas (e.g. s 137J which allows for automatic cancellation of a student visa where the visa holder is not complying with their study requirements).
