Under sections 198 and 200 of the Act, a person may be ‘removed’ or ‘deported’ by an officer of the Department of immigration if they are an unlawful non-citizen as outlined above. This is obviously one of the worst ways to leave Australia if you originally only came on a holiday. It is however a possibility if you stay in Australia for a long time without a visa. If you have overstayed your visa in Australia or you need other advice or assistance, please do not hesitate to contact us using the contact form available on this site.
