Answer One
Issue:
In the given set of circumstances the issue is to identify whether Stanley has contravened the vsa
condition of 8101.
Rule:
It is worth mentioning that any person who applies for a visa in Australia is subjected to one or
more relevant conditions. Condition 8101 is one of the common provisions which restricts any
person who holds a visa to work in the territorial jurisdictions of Australia1. Engaging in work
can be defined as any activity which is undertaken by an individual for the purpose of earning
money. It can be mentioned that if any individual chooses to do volunteer work for less than a
period of three months to support their family at home, will not be held to have contravened this
condition. In case of violation of condition 8101, the decision maker in charge of the renewal of
the visa can cancel the visa2. However, the person who contravenes this condition will be given
the opportunity to explain the reason why he had breached it. The decision maker will
subsequently decide whether to cancel the visa or renew it. If it is assessed by the decision
maker that the circumstances due to which the person in consideration contravened the condition
8101 were beyond such person’s control, the decision maker will not typically elect to cancel the
visa.
Application:
1 Migration Regulation 1958

prescribing the immigration status of a sponsor, it is required for the sponsor to be settled in the
territory of Australia for the purpose of being deemed as a sponsor7. In section 1.03 of the
migrations regulations it has been provided that the term settled can be defined as an Australian
Citizen who has been a lawful resident for a reasonable period. Under Category 1, of the
migration regulations it has been provided that a sponsor has to be a lawful resident of Australia
for two years as at the time of the approval of the visa. Such sponsor is allowed to go for a short
trip up to four months at the time of approving the sponsorship. This can be considered to be the
reasonable time period. In category two it has been provided that if a sponsor stays outside the
territory of Australia for a period of two years at the time of approving the sponsorship, he has to
provide evidence of an employment which is going on, evidence of ownership of house or a
lease agreement, evidence of bank statements of funds held in Australia.
Further it has been provided in the Migration Regulations 1994 that a sponsor who has
previously sponsored a partner or a prospective marriage visa applicant cannot sponsor another
partner or visa applicant until 5 years have passed since the date of sponsoring the first applicant.

years prior while he entered into a defacto relationship with Elfriede. Therefore it is evident that
John cannot sponsor the visa application of Elfriede as he was not settled in Australia at the time
of sponsoring the visa of Elfriede.
