Citizenship Application

I have a New Zealand citizenship and have been in Australia for 26 yrs. I have been released from custody and am now detained at a detention centre. My 501 visa has been cancelled. Could I apply for any other visa? I also have 2 kids born in Australia who are under 18.

Without knowing the specifics of your case, there may be options available to you including applying for a further visa or appealing the decision to cancel your former visa.


Are you sure your former visa was called a subclass 501? '501' typically refers to a power that the Minister holds to refuse to issue or to cancel a visa on the basis that the applicant or visa holder fails to meet the character test requirements.


Please feel free to contact me to obtain further specific information.
