MIGRATION LEGISLATION AMENDMENT (TEMPORARY SAFE HAVEN VISAS) ACT 1999 - SECT 4

Applications for certain visas made before the commencement of this Act
(1)
If during the period beginning on 6 April 1999 and ending immediately before the commencement of this section:

(a)
a non-citizen is in Australia; and

(b)
the non-citizen:

(i)
holds a temporary visa that falls within Class UJ under the regulations; or
(ii)
has not left Australia since ceasing to hold such a visa; and
(c)
the non-citizen makes an application for a visa; and

(d)
the non-citizen is not granted a substantive visa as a result of the application;

then the application ceases to be a valid application on the commencement of this section, despite any provision of the Migration Act 1958 or any other law.

(2)
To avoid doubt:

(a)
subsection (1) applies even if the application, or a decision in relation to the application, is the subject of a review by, or an appeal or application to, a review officer, body, tribunal or court; and

(b)
no visa may be granted to the non-citizen as a direct, or indirect, result of the application.
