Withdrawal of a visa application

Form

1446

Under section 49 of the Migration Act 1958, an applicant for a visa may by written notice, withdraw their visa application.

How can I withdraw my visa application or withdraw a visa application on behalf of another person?

This form can be used to provide written notice for withdrawal of a visa application. Prior to submitting this form, you should ensure that you have filled out all of the necessary sections and signed and dated the declaration.

Withdrawal of a visa application by one applicant (such as the main applicant) does not constitute withdrawal of the visa applications of other applicants. Generally written notice of withdrawal must be given by each applicant.

This form can be used by multiple applicants who made a combined visa application.

Please either attach the completed withdrawal form within your ImmiAccount or send to the relevant processing centre. The address of the relevant processing centre dealing with your application can be obtained from the application acknowledgement correspondence sent to you. If the relevant processing centre has not been specified please send to your nearest office of the department.

Your personal information is protected by law, including the Privacy Act 1988. Important information about the collection, use and disclosure (to other agencies and third parties, including overseas entities) of your personal information, including sensitive information, is contained in form 1442i Privacy notice. Form 1442i is available from the department’s website www.immi.gov.au/allforms/ or offices of the department. You should ensure that you read and understand form 1442i before completing this form.
