The purpose of the instrument is to amend LIN 21/007 to specify additional circumstances under these provisions to allow refunds of the first instalment of a VAC. Refunds are being made available to certain persons who continue to be adversely impacted by COVID-19 related travel difficulties and hold, or have held, a Subclass 300 Prospective Marriage (Temporary) visa (Prospective Marriage visa).
The instrument specifies two additional circumstances in which the first instalment VAC for Prospective Marriage visa holders or former holders (visa holders) may be refunded.
The circumstances specified for VAC refunds in LIN 21/007 have not changed.
