Effect of criminal justice visas
161 Effect of criminal justice visas
A criminal justice entry visa for a non‑citizen is permission for the non‑citizen to travel to and enter and remain in Australia while it is in effect.
A criminal justice stay visa for a non‑citizen:
is permission for the non‑citizen to remain in Australia while it is in effect; and
if the non‑citizen is in immigration detention, entitles the non‑citizen to be released from that detention.
A criminal justice visa for a person does not prevent the non‑citizen leaving Australia.
Subsection (3) does not limit the operation of any order or warrant of a court.
The holder of a criminal justice entry visa may not apply for a visa other than a protection visa.
If a non‑citizen who has held a criminal justice entry visa remains in Australia when the visa is cancelled, the non‑citizen may not make an application for a visa other than a protection visa.
