Attention:
All information in this topic are to be taken as
a guide only and may be outdated. The Department
of Immigration of Australia, constantly modify
and update the rules for most types of Visas.
For actual and correct information, please
consult the official
website of the Department of Immigration.
From the information we had from people who had a Visa denied by the Australian
authorities, one of the most important factors was the lack of
adequate financial situation to support the person while in
Australia. The second motif in our list was failing to supply
enough information by the time the application form was
filled, followed by not providing any bond with the country of
origin. e.g. : No family, no place of residence, no job,
nothing that indicates that the person in question will return
to its country before the expiration of the visa.
Important
Notice:
Never lie
or invent things when filling up the form. The
department of Immigration do investigate
whatever you wrote in the form to mach the
facts. If any irregularity is found, it is
considered not only a grave fault but in some
cases even fraud, which is a criminal offence in
Australia, being necessary a very convincing
explanation for you Visa not to be denied. So,
pay very much attention when filling up the
form.
Real
Case: A person answered the questionnaire (form)
telling the Australian Immigration Department
that he never been outside his country before.
The Department discovered he visited London
once, and call him on the phone to confirm or
not the case, which he insisted on the lie. His
visa was denied.
Depending on the motif in which a Visa was denied, the applicant will have to wait
a certain period of time (under the immigration
or embassy/consulate discretion) to re-apply
again. Having a denied Visa for other countries
doesn't necessary means the same will happen for
Australia.
For
a better application:
-
Make
sure
you can show a proof of income or a bank statement
that demonstrate enough funds to face your
expenditure in Australia without no need to get any
work in Australia. The Immigration Department
stipulates an annual average of A$ 18.000 for
students taking courses in Australia. It is
important to demonstrate income not goods such as
your car, house, boat or general properties. If you
alone don't have the income, a sponsor such as
father, mother, grandmother, etc... can be accepted,
if they produce a letter telling the Immigration
they will be financially responsible for your
expenses, and in this case they will have to proof
the availability of this income.

Real
Case:
A man sold his goods and had US$ 80.000 in the bank.
He applied for a Visa to study 3 months in Australia
and the Visa was denied. The reason he told me, was
because he didn't show any reason why after the 3
months he was going to return to his country and
overstay his Visa, since he had no fixed job in his
country, no son or daughters, in other words,
nothing to make him return back to his country after
the studies. The Immigration Department suspected he
was going to overstay his Visa and stay illegal in
Australia. A future job offer in his country or
something similar, could give to the officer of the
Immigration Department some more base to trust his
intentions.

When
applying for a Visa to Australia, do it in the best way you can,
filling up the form with legible and clear letters,
following step-by-step the questions in the form. If
necessary write the answers in a scratch before
passing to the form. Read very well the requirement
to understand exactly which documents you'll have to
annexe.
