Greek travellers to Australia have faced issues returning home after travel disruptions caused by the Middle East conflict.
The Embassy of Greece in Australia advised on social media that Greek travellers whose visas have expired or are about to expire due to developments in the Middle East should consult the Australian Government Department of Home Affairs. The department provides guidance and a dedicated link for visa extensions.
The Australian Government Department of Home Affairs advises that there are visa options available if the Middle East conflict has impacted someone and they wish to extend their stay. These include the skilled, family, student and visitor visa programs.
Staying longer in Australia involves applying for a new visa and circumstances will determine visa options. The website outlines “what you must do to remain lawful while you apply for a new visa. There may be restrictions on applying for further visas while you are in Australia.”
For additional assistance contact the embassy of your home country and see more information on the Immigration Status Resolution Service and consulates in Australia.
