The Federal Australian government has amended the legislation to allow people with S48 bar to apply onshore for certain visa subclasses.

People with S48 bar will be able to apply for visa subclass 190/494/491 onshore from 13 November 2021.

Department of Home Affairs has amended the legislation to facilitate these changes.

Section 48 of the Migration Act says if your visa has been refused or cancelled while in Australia, you cannot apply for another visa while in Australia. So the applicants need to go overseas only to lodge the application.

However, many immigrants lost a chance to lodge their visa applications despite receiving invites due to Section 48 bar after Australia imposed Coronavirus restrictions on international travel. As a result, only citizens and permanent residents can return from overseas.
