This page is in preparation. It does not offer an automated deadline or a paid record until the missing source or calculator evidence is complete.

  • No extension power. A late request is not void, but it entitles the decision-maker to refuse it.
  • A request made outside this period may still be answered. The consequence of lateness is a discretionary refusal power, not invalidity. Where the decision was not set out in a document given to the person, a 'reasonable time' test applies with no fixed period. Section 268 is disapplied for s 501 and s 501CA(4) decisions relating to a person in the migration zone.
