Hrj Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 I am presently on BVA awaiting the outcome of my AAT review for a protection visa , I lodged T an application for a BVB to enable me visit Vanuatu for a one week trip but was denied BVB with the response that it did not satisfy clause 020.212(2)(d) of schedule 2 of the migration regulations 1994. inorder to avoid error in the application I used a registered agent for the Application but despite that my application was not properly prepared by the agent of which I had argument when I was sent the application to sign coz I read through the stated reason for travel which he quoted TOURISM without explaining in detail ,during the arguments he assured me that it is a satisfactory reason for BVB but at the end it was denied . My question now is what other options do I have . can I re apply. it states that the department cannot consider my visa application any further , how ever you are entitled for review rights in the next 21 days. By the statement “the department cannot consider my visa application any further does it mean I can’t apply for another one in the future if I decide to and have compelling reason to travel ? I am a bit confused and would appreciated inputs from MARA agents and other experienced people in the forum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toots Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 In your previous posts you have stated you are in Australia on a visitor visa and are applying for a partner visa and also protection visa. Maybe you can state more clearly which actual visa you are applying for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am only weighing the various available options partner visa is among them. I had a good offer for a one week vacation in Vanuatu which promoted me making plan to utilise it accordingly but my BVB request was refused.

Wrussel you are right........The delegate stated that my application did not satisfy clause 020.212(2)(d) of schedule 2 of the migration regulations 1994 coz my stated reason for the application is for tourism.

Raul Senise Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 Your situation is not straight forward. It is likely that your BVB was refused due to your Australian visa history. If your protection visa is based on genuine claims, you should not need a plan B with an off shore visa. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
