按照本月联邦政府的新规则，专家说，你申请澳洲签证时只要有一个错误，就可能面对一辈子的悔恨。
任何人在申请签证时递交了虚假或误导的材料，就算不是故意的，也要面临10年禁止申请新签证，而此前的规定是12个月。
新规则针对的材料包括不准确的陈述、遗漏事实，或递交了虚假文件，例如银行记录、工作经验描述、虚假英语成绩等。
11月18日以后递交的申请，如果被查出此前10年内的任何申请有诈，就可能会被拒签。
这取代了以前的12个月的规定。以前的规定是，如果你的材料被怀疑作假，你可以取消申请，以避免被拒签造成三年不得再次申请。
这一措施涵盖暂时签证类别，包括学生签证、家属签证、技术移民、以及家人所做的申请。
New regulations mean anyone who submits incorrect information as part of an Australian visa application could be effectively barred from reapplying for a decade.
Just one mistake on your Australian visa application could carry “devastating” lifetime consequences, experts say, under new regulations introduced by the Federal Government this month.
Anyone who submits false or misleading material as part of a visa application – even unwittingly – faces being effectively barred from making a new application for 10 years. The previous penalty was just 12 months.
The material targeted includes inaccurate statements, omissions of fact, or lodging bogus documents such as bank records, work experience claims or false English language proficiency scores.
“[It] would have quite a devastating impact on any migrant who breached their rule of perfection in any manner whatsoever,” said Mary Crock, an immigration law specialist at the University of Sydney.
“If you’re denied that long then it’s going to become impossible to come to the country.”
