Frequently asked questions

My visa was refused — how long do I have to appeal?

Appeal time limits to the ART are strict and often just 21 days from the decision (shorter for some onshore cases). They generally can't be extended, so contact us immediately.

What is the ART?

The Administrative Review Tribunal replaced the AAT in October 2024. It independently reviews many visa refusal and cancellation decisions. We prepare and run your appeal.

Can I just apply again instead of appealing?

Sometimes — but a section 48 bar may stop you re-applying onshore after a refusal. We assess whether appealing or re-applying gives you the best chance.

My student visa was refused on the Genuine Student requirement — can that be appealed?

Yes. GS refusals are frequently overturned when the case is properly argued and evidenced at the ART. We know what the tribunal looks for.
