Security bond on Visitor visa SC600 - Sponsored Family stream
Purpose of the security
A bond is not a mandatory requirement and a visa can be granted without a bond request being made. Furthermore, a bond is not a “guarantee” that a person will return home by the time their visa ceases, and a large bond should not be used as an alternative to visa refusal if officers are not satisfied that the genuine temporary stay requirement is met. It should be imposed only if officers have residual concerns that the applicant may attempt to stay in Australia after their visa has ceased.
