What does a visa appeal cost in Australia? The ART application fee, refunds if you win, and agent fees explained by registered agents in Brisbane. Call us.
If your visa is refused, the main cost of appealing is the application fee charged by the Administrative Review Tribunal (ART), which is the body that reviews most visa decisions (it replaced the Administrative Appeals Tribunal, the AAT). You generally pay this fee when you lodge the review application, and there’s usually a strict deadline to do so, often just days or a few weeks from the refusal. If your appeal succeeds, a large part of the fee is typically refunded. On top of the tribunal fee, most people pay professional fees for a registered migration agent or lawyer to prepare and argue the case, and those fees vary with complexity. Because tribunal fees and time limits change, confirm the current fee and your exact deadline as soon as you receive a refusal.
This guide is general information to help you get your bearings. Migration and citizenship rules — and especially fees and processing times — change often, so the smartest next step is a quick, honest read on your own situation. Our registered migration agent and qualified education consultant work under one roof, so your visa and study plans line up.
