Waiver Request

‘No Further Stay’ It is a condition that prevents the visa holder from applying for many temporary and permanent visas while they are in Australia

  • ‘No Further Stay’ conditions include 8503, 8534 and 8535.
  • This will not prevent you from applying for other visas, when you depart Australia.
  • No Further Stay’ conditions can be imposed on a range of temporary visas.
  • Condition 8503 is a mandatory condition on the following visas:
  • Visitor visa (subclass 600) (Sponsored Family stream)
  • Visitor visa (subclass 600) (Approved Destination stream)
  • Visitor visa (subclass 600) (Tourist stream) if sponsorship has been imposed on it
  • Training and Research visa (subclass 402) for the professional development stream only
  • Work and Holiday visa (subclass 462) if you have previously held two subclass 462 visas.

If the visa is subject to condition 8503, you cannot apply for a further visa in Australia, other than a Protection visa (subclass 866).
