How to avoid Australian visa 8503?

Some types of Australian visas will be accompanied by a no-stay clause, which restricts visa holders from applying for a new visa or overstaying in Australia. Because the number of this clause is 8503 or 8534, it is also abbreviated as 8503/8534.

As we all know, after the visa is approved, the visa holder must abide by the terms of the visa, whether it is PR or TR. However, it is worth noting that observing the visa terms and being a law-abiding citizen or temporary resident does not mean blindly believing that all existing visa terms are irrevocable.

Then, if the visa is accompanied by clause 8503/8534, is there any other legal way for the holder to stay in China without being restricted by this clause?

The answer is yes! The immigration threshold set by the Australian Immigration Department for immigrants is indeed rising gradually, and it is necessary to follow certain laws and regulations. However, nothing is absolute! As long as the applicant or visa holder has any "competitive or comparable" reasons and can provide supporting documents, the Immigration Bureau will consider it as appropriate and may waive the corresponding visa terms!

The legal basis is as follows

Interpretation requirements of 8503 exemption application

How to apply for exemption from clause 8503/8534?

First of all, you need to show the application evidence, explain any reasons for "competition or comparability" and provide supporting documents. You don't need to pay the application fee or fill in any form to apply for exemption from 8503. You just need to explain the reasons for your application. If your application for exemption from 8503 is rejected, you cannot appeal to the Immigration Appeals Tribunal (MRT).

Note: It is best to seek the assistance of professionals (registered immigration agencies) in applying for 8503, prepare a well-founded explanation, and quote relevant legal provisions and past cases as assistance when necessary.

In addition, the application for visa-free for 8503 should be made as soon as possible, because once the visa expires, although you are still waiting for the decision of visa-free for 8503 in China, it is illegal to stay unless you have a bridge visa. Under normal circumstances, it is impossible to get a bridge visa. Because clause 8503 is only a clause on your visa, not an independent visa, applying for exemption from this clause is not the same as waiting for a visa decision. Therefore, it is necessary to apply for 8503 visa exemption as soon as possible before the visa expires.
