8503 NO FURTHER STAY CONDITION
Following an assessment of your application, a visa officer may decide to apply the 8503 condition on your visa. The 8503 (or No Further Stay) condition means that the holder of the visa on which the condition has been imposed will not, after entering Australia be entitled to be granted any other visa (1) , while the holder remains in Australia.
The effect of the 8503 condition is that it will not be possible for the visa holder to apply to remain in Australia beyond the authorised period of stay as shown on the visa label. If the 8503 condition is imposed on your visa, it will be indicated on the visa label with the words – NO FURTHER STAY.
When you sign the visa application form, you are declaring that:
- You agree to having the 8503 condition included on any visa issued to you as a result of the application.
- You understand that if the 8503 condition is imposed on your visa, it will be indicated on the visa label by the condition code ‘8503’ and by the short description ‘No Further Stay’.
- You acknowledge that this means that the 8503 condition has been imposed on your visa, that you are required to depart Australia on or before the date or time period notified on the visa label and that you understand the restriction that Condition 8503 places on you.
(1) Except in extremely limited circumstances which are outside your control, or to engage in Australia’s protection obligation under 1951 Convention relating to the status of Refugees.
