Note: Due to COVID-19 it is anticipated a large number of applicants for Visitor Visa 600 refusals will take place in Australia. Understandably many people wish to remain in Australia at this time. At Visa Makers a common question we get asked is my visitor visa 600 refused can I apply again? This is a great question. Unfortunately if you do not hold a substantive visa and after last entering Australia were refused the visitor visa then you would be blocked in applying again. You may though have the right to appeal the decision if you are in Australia.
