Domestic Violence/Assault Charges – Legal Submission to get a visa

Understanding Character Test and S501 Submissions for Australian Visas

To obtain a visa to Australia, you must pass the Character Test outlined under Section 501 of the Migration Act 1958. This test ensures that applicants are of ‘good character’ and do not pose a threat to the Australian community. A failure to pass this test can lead to visa refusal or cancellation.

What Happens If You Fail the Character Test?

If you fail the Character Test, it is typically due to a significant criminal record. However, even if your criminal history is minor, Immigration may still question you about past charges or convictions. In these cases, you will need to submit a Character/S501 submission to demonstrate that you do not pose a risk to the Australian community and are of good character.

Character Test Failure and Section 501

Section 501 of the Migration Act 1958 is a key provision when assessing character issues. If you have committed a criminal offense or have a conviction, Immigration may decide to refuse or cancel your visa based on concerns about public safety.

It’s important to note that Immigration has discretion in these matters, and each case is assessed on its merits. A Character/S501 submission allows you the opportunity to provide information and evidence to show that you should still be considered a suitable candidate for a visa.
