The Consequences of Bogus or False Documents for Australian Visa
Are you ever considering submitting bogus or false documents for an Australian Visa application?
Think again!
When applying for an Australian visa, whether a Working Visa, Skilled Visa, or Partner Visa, it is crucial to be honest, upfront, and thorough.
The study that the Department of Home Affairs (DHA) will undertake on your Australian Visa application is complete and comprehensive.
Consequences of Submitting Bogus or False Documents to Australian Visa Application
If you submit bogus or false documents for an Australian visa application, the Case Officer will likely be able to determine whether your submissions are fraudulent. And by that, your Australia visa application may be refused.
Other than that, the following scenarios may affect your Australian visa application too:
- If a family member has made a visa application to come to Australia and submitted false documentation, it could also affect your Australian visa application.
- Suppose you present bogus or false documents to your Australian Visa application. Your family members who wish to apply for a visa may also jeopardise their visa because of your actions.
- Suppose you have any family dependents listed on your application, which contains misleading information and fraudulent documents, and your visa has been refused. In that case, your dependents will not be granted entry to Australia.
- Provide false or misleading documents with your Australian visa application for Australia. You may also have a ban placed upon preventing you from being granted an Australian visa for three years.
- Suppose you have a current visa and you are found to have lodged false or misleading documentation to the Department of Home Affairs. In that case, the department may cancel your visa, requiring you to leave Australia and, if permitted, apply for a new visa offshore.
- Suppose the Department of Home Affairs believes you have submitted false documents with your application. In that case, they will notify you of their findings and require you to comment on the false documentation within a specific period (generally 28 days).
- Suppose false documents are found, and your arguments for submitting these false documents are deemed to be invalid. In that case, you can appeal the decision via the Administrative Appeals Tribunal (AAT).

The other consequences you may face
- Legal Consequences: Immigration fraud is a criminal offence in Australia. Depending on the severity of the fraud and the specific circumstances, individuals involved in submitting bogus documents may face legal consequences, including fines and imprisonment.
- Reputation Damage: Engaging in fraudulent activities can damage an individual’s reputation and credibility. It can have long-term consequences beyond the immediate immigration process, impacting personal and professional relationships in Australia and their home country.
- Immigration Record: Immigration authorities maintain records of individuals involved in fraudulent activities. This record can be shared with other countries, impacting future visa applications to various destinations, not just Australia.
- Deportation: If an individual manages to enter Australia using fraudulent documents and their deception is later discovered, they can face deportation. Deportation can result in immediate removal from the country, often at the individual’s expense. It may also include a ban on re-entry for a specified period.
