Detention, Deportation or Removal
Under Australian law,
unlawful non-citizens in Australia must be detained at an immigration
detention centre. An unlawful non-citizen is someone who:
-
has arrived in Australia
without a visa,
-
has overstayed their visa,
or
-
has had their visa
cancelled.
If you have overstayed
your visa, you may be able to apply for a Bridging Visa on the basis of
making arrangements to depart Australia. You will need to present an
airline ticket to the Department as proof of your arrangements.
If you are in immigration detention, you may be eligible for a Removal
Pending Bridging Visa, which will allow you to reenter the community and
leave detention.
If you have overstayed your visa for more than 28 days, or if you are
removed from Australia, you will be subject to an exclusion period which
prevents you from reentering Australia on a temporary visa for at least
three years.
