What happens if I cancel my current visa?

[Guest]

Hello, 

I have a few questions about the repercussions of cancelling my current visa status...

From what I’ve read by cancelling my current visa it will also cancel the bridging visa I have in effect, there fore I will be unlawfully in the country... if I immediately apply for bridging visa E, how long will this take to come into affect? I’m concerned with the time of year this wouldnt be actioned before Friday 20th December and imagine the department will be closed until the new year... 

I’ve considered travelling overseas to action the cancelation but then believe I won’t be able to receive a bridging visa without being the country, and also by cancelling a visa it can cause issues coming into the country in the future... 

 

Would love to hear any advice if anyone has canceled a visa before?

I'd advise you to contact a reputable migration agent to ensure you achieve your desired outcome. 

If you carry on without out fully knowing what you are doing and stuff it up, you could really stuff it up.

Try a detention centre!

It might pay you to consult a registered migration agent for advice about your possible strategies.

Have you checked to ascertain whether you can apply for a bridging visa E before you become an unauthorised non citizen?
