What Are Visa Waivers in Australia?

A Visa Waiver Australia allows applicants to bypass specific visa requirements, such as health or character criteria, under compelling or compassionate circumstances. However, waivers are not automatically granted; they require a formal application supported by detailed evidence explaining why the waiver is justified.

At Jade Immigration Lawyers, we specialise in crafting strong Visa Waivers Australia applications. We carefully prepare supporting documentation, highlight exceptional circumstances, and present a compelling case to immigration authorities. With our expertise, we aim to maximise your chances of successfully obtaining a visa waiver and overcoming potential barriers to your application.

Types of Waivers We Assist With:

At Jade Immigration Lawyers, we provide expert legal support for a range of Visa Waivers Australia, helping clients navigate complex requirements and overcome challenges in their visa applications.


1. Health Requirement Waivers (Public Interest Criterion 4007)

Most Australian visas require applicants to meet strict health standards, ensuring they do not pose a burden on the healthcare system or a public health risk. If you or a family member fail to meet these requirements, a waiver under Public Interest Criterion (PIC) 4007 may be available.

Our Support Includes:

  • Working closely with medical professionals to provide comprehensive evidence.
  • Arguing that the health condition will not impose undue costs or risks.
  • Highlighting compassionate and compelling circumstances that justify visa approval.

2. Character Requirement Waivers (Section 501 and PIC 4020)

Applicants must meet stringent character requirements, as past criminal convictions, associations, or visa breaches can result in visa refusal or cancellation. Waivers under Section 501 of the Migration Act and PIC 4020 can be requested in cases involving compelling circumstances.

Our Support Includes:

  • Preparing submissions addressing rehabilitation efforts and societal contributions.
  • Highlighting extenuating circumstances to present a strong case for approval.
  • Managing communication with the Department of Home Affairs to advocate on your behalf.

3. Public Interest Criterion (PIC) 4020 Waivers – False or Misleading Information

Providing false or misleading information during a visa application can lead to refusal under PIC 4020. In cases with compelling or compassionate circumstances, a waiver may still be possible.

Our Support Includes:

  • Building a case to explain why false information was provided.
  • Demonstrating mitigating factors and providing evidence of good faith.
  • Advocating for leniency based on unique circumstances.

4. Condition 8503 – No Further Stay Waiver

Condition 8503 prohibits certain temporary visa holders from applying for another visa while in Australia. However, if personal circumstances change significantly, a waiver may be granted.

Our Support Includes:

  • Preparing detailed submissions highlighting medical, family, or other significant changes.
  • Demonstrating why staying in Australia is necessary due to unforeseen circumstances.
  • Ensuring all evidence aligns with the requirements of the Department of Home Affairs.
