Understanding Partner Visa Cancellation
Your partner visa can be considered for cancellation if you fail to comply with conditions (like maintaining a genuine relationship), don’t meet character requirements, or if false information was provided in your application.
Receiving a Notice of Intention to Consider Cancellation (NOICC) is a critical alert requiring an urgent, strategic response. A cancellation can lead to loss of legal status, potential deportation, and re-entry bans, significantly impacting your future in Australia with your partner.

Frequently Asked Questions about Partner Visa Cancellations
Can my partner directly cancel my visa in Australia?
No, your partner cannot directly cancel your visa, as this power rests exclusively with the Department of Home Affairs. However, information provided by your partner, such as reporting a relationship breakdown, can trigger an investigation by the Department that may lead to a visa cancellation. It is crucial to seek legal advice from an immigration lawyer if you receive a notice of intention to consider cancellation.
Can a permanent partner visa be cancelled if the relationship breaks down?
Generally, a permanent partner visa is not cancelled solely because a relationship ends. However, if the Department of Home Affairs discovers that misleading or fraudulent information was provided during the original visa application process, this could become grounds for the cancellation of the permanent visa. An experienced immigration lawyer can provide legal advice regarding your visa status.
Are there any exceptions to partner visa cancellation if the relationship ends?
Yes, exceptions exist that may prevent the cancellation of a temporary partner visa even if the relationship with your spouse or de facto partner ends. These special circumstances apply if the visa holder has experienced domestic and family violence, if there is a child from the relationship, or if the sponsoring Australian partner has passed away. You should seek legal advice to see if these provisions apply to your situation.
Will I lose my visa if I get divorced in Australia?
Divorce does not automatically lead to the cancellation of a partner visa. The Department of Home Affairs may review your case to ensure the relationship was genuine at the time of the visa application and to determine if other criteria are met that might allow you to remain in Australia. It is highly recommended to seek legal advice from an immigration lawyer in this situation.
What should I do if my partner visa is cancelled?
If your partner visa is cancelled, you should seek immediate legal advice from an immigration lawyer to understand the reasons for the decision. A lawyer can explain your rights, assess your case, and determine if you have grounds to appeal the cancellation to the Administrative Review Tribunal (ART). Acting quickly is critical, as strict time limits apply for lodging an appeal.
Can an Australian visa be cancelled after it has been approved?
Yes, an Australian visa can be cancelled after it has been granted. A visa cancellation can occur if the visa holder breaches their visa conditions, provides false information in their visa application, or fails to meet the character requirements under the Migration Act 1958. The Department of Home Affairs has the power to cancel a visa on these and other statutory grounds.
Can I stay in Australia if I break up with my partner?
Your ability to stay in Australia after breaking up with your partner depends on your visa status and specific circumstances. If you hold a temporary partner visa, the end of the relationship can be a reason for cancellation, but you may be able to remain if exceptions, such as those involving family violence or children of the relationship, apply. You should seek legal advice from one of our immigration lawyers to explore your options.
