Integrity of application
The department is committed to maintaining the integrity of
the visa and citizenship programs. Please be aware that if you,
or anyone assisting you with this form, provide us with
fraudulent documents or claims, this may result in processing
delays and possibly your application being refused.
To ensure the integrity of temporary residence visas, the
department has a thorough monitoring process to assist in
ensuring compliance with all program requirements and all
relevant Australian laws.
If you are applying for a new visa while in Australia you must
apply for a new visa before your current visa expires. You
cannot apply for a further Visitor visa Business Visitor stream

mind that the grant of a new visa will cease any visa currently
held and the entitlements attached to that visa. If, for example,
you currently have work rights or formal study entitlements,
those entitlements will cease when a Visitor visa is granted.
