Precautions for entering Australia:

According to international practice, a visa is the sovereignty of a country. Even if the person concerned has obtained a visa, a country has the right to refuse entry to anyone it deems inappropriate.

Immigration officials usually ask simple questions, such as "the purpose of coming to Australia" and "how long are you going to stay".

If the immigration officer has doubts about the entry motivation, he may be taken to the interview room for a more detailed interview, such as understanding the purpose of visiting Australia, contacts in Australia, schedule, visa application, etc.

If immigration officials finally decide to cancel their visas and refuse entry, they usually send a written letter explaining the reasons. Then contact and arrange the flight to be repatriated as soon as possible. Once the repatriation decision is made, it will not change and should be coordinated. Otherwise, immigration officials may take coercive measures, such as escorting planes.

If you think the decision is unfair, you can fly back to China as required, and then file an administrative complaint with the administrative appeal court. If you are still dissatisfied with AAT's ruling, you can hire a lawyer to bring a lawsuit to the court.
