   If you are one of the vast majority of non-citizens who do not come within one of the groups of people listed in question 22 below, you will need to apply for a visa.
   
   Generally, an application is not valid unless it is for a visa of a specified class, any fees prescribed for the application have been paid, and it is made on the approved form.
   
   Some people are exempt from completing an approved form because they are deemed by the Migration Regulations to be an applicant for a visa. They include:
   
   A child born between the time an application is made and the time it is decided. The birth of the child is a change of circumstance, which must be notified on an approved form.
       * In limited circumstances, non-citizens in Australia who make an invalid application for a substantive visa are taken to have applied for a Bridging D visa.
   Non-citizens who were in Australia on 1 September 1994 and had unresolved applications for an entry permit on that date are taken to be applicants for a transitional visa.
   
   The Migration Regulations also provide for an Australian person or business who is approved by the Department of Immigration or a State or Territory Government to nominate a non-citizen outside Australia who wishes to come to Australia for short-term business purposes. The nominated person may be granted a Temporary Business Entry visa.
   
   You should be aware that if you are in Australia and do not hold a substantive visa and a decision is made to refuse to grant you a visa, then restrictions do apply to your future right to make further applications for the grant of a visa. You will only be entitled to apply for a prescribed class of visa.
