Security Bond for Visitor Visa SC600 – Sponsored Family Stream
A security bond may sometimes be requested for a Visitor Visa Subclass 600 application under the Sponsored Family stream. However, a security bond is not mandatory in every case and a visa may still be granted without one.
The purpose of a security bond is to provide additional assurance that the visa applicant will comply with visa conditions and leave Australia before the visa expires.
Factors Considered by the Department
- Immigration history of the applicant and sponsor
- Previous visa compliance or non-compliance
- Strong reasons for the applicant to return home
- Purpose of travel to Australia
- Compelling or compassionate circumstances
- Strength of sponsorship and supporting documents
Who Pays the Security Bond?
In most Sponsored Family stream applications, the sponsor is generally expected to arrange payment of the security bond. In some situations, another person may pay the bond on behalf of the applicant.
What Happens If the Bond Is Not Paid?
If a security bond is requested and not paid within the required timeframe, the visa application may be refused.
