From 9pm AEDT 20 March 2020, you can enter in Australia only if you are:

  • Australian citizen

All people entering Australia must self-isolate for 14 days, at home or in a hotel.

If you are in Australia

  • If you hold a valid visa you must apply for a new visa before your current visa expires.
  • If your visa has the No further stay condition and has less than 2 months validity remaining you can request to waive this condition.
  • If your visa has expired, you need to apply for Bridging E visa (BVE) immediately in order to become lawful. A BVE keeps you lawful while you make arrangements to leave or finalise your immigration matter.

If you can’t enter to Australia

  • For temporary visa holders, you will need to apply for a new visa once the travel restrictions are lifted.
  • Permanent visa holders should contact the departmental office which granted their visa, but only when they are able to travel.

International Students

  • Student visas can’t be extended. The student will need to apply for a new visa that meets their current needs.
  • If a student requires additional time to complete their studies (beyond their visa expiry date) they will need to apply for a new student visa and will require a new Confirmation of Enrolment.
  • Australia’s major supermarkets and residential aged-care will temporarily be able to offer more hours to international student employees to help critical staff shortages.
