Section 84E — Temporary visas of non-citizens in class specified in arrival control determination cease to be in effect etc.

84E Temporary visas of non-citizens in class specified in arrival control determination cease to be in effect etc.

Temporary visa of non-citizen not in the migration zone ceases to be in effect

(1) A temporary visa held by a non-citizen ceases to be in effect if an arrival control determination that is in force applies to the non-citizen. Note 1: In general, non-citizens must not travel to Australia without a visa that is in effect (see section 42). Visa holders are usually required to enter Australia at a port (see section 43). A person who enters Australia must provide evidence of their identity (see section 166). Note 2: An arrival control determination does not apply in relation to certain non-citizens, including a non-citizen who is in the migration zone at the time the determination commences, or a non-citizen who is the subject of a permitted travel certificate that is in force (see section 84C). Note 3: Under subsection 84D(5), a permitted travel certificate may not be revoked while the non-citizen is in the migration zone.

Temporary visa may come into effect again

(2) If a temporary visa held by a non-citizen has ceased to be in effect under subsection (1), the visa comes into effect again at a particular time during the visa period for the visa if, at that time:

(a) the arrival control determination referred to in that subsection is revoked or otherwise ceases to be in effect; or

(b) the non-citizen ceases to be in a class of non-citizens specified in the determination mentioned in paragraph (a); or

(c) the non-citizen becomes a non-citizen to whom the determination mentioned in paragraph (a) does not apply.

Other cessation provisions not limited or otherwise affected

(3) This section does not limit, or otherwise affect, any other provision of this Act under which a visa ceases to be in effect. Note: A non-citizen’s visa may cease to be in effect under another provision of this Act. If that occurs, the visa period for the visa ends (see subparagraph (b)(i) of the definition of visa period in subsection 5(1)) and the non-citizen will no longer hold the visa (see section 77).
