To obtain a visa to Australia, you must pass the “Character Test” and demonstrate that you are of ‘good character’.

In some cases, individuals may fail the character test due to a significant criminal record under Section 501 of the Migration Act 1958. When this happens, a submission to Immigration is necessary to prove that you are of ‘good character’ and do not pose a threat to the Australian community.

Even if you pass the ‘Character Test’ but have a minor conviction or offence, Immigration may still question you about the charges/offence. In these situations, our firm is experienced in preparing submissions to demonstrate that you are of ‘good character’ and not a threat to the Australian community.

We have extensive experience with Character/S501 submissions, successfully assisting individuals in obtaining visas and permanent residency.

Character/ S501 submissions are a complex specimen that requires thorough analysis, case law and persuasion to convince Immigration (Department of Home Affairs).

If you need help for a Character/ S501 submission, please contact us on info@visaeducationexperts.com.au or +61 414 588 942.
