What happens if Maltese citizens overstay their online e-visa in Australia?

Overstaying an Australian e-visa is taken very seriously by the Australian authorities and can lead to significant consequences. Maltese citizens who overstay their online e-visa in Australia may face:

Deportation: Overstayers are at risk of deportation, which can lead to a ban on re-entering Australia for a certain period or even permanently.
Pay Fines: Overstayers may be subject to substantial fines and penalties, which can be enforced before they are allowed to leave the country.
Immigration Issues: Overstaying can create complications for future visa applications to Australia or other countries, as it reflects negatively on the individual's immigration history.

To prevent such scenarios, Maltese visitors must follow the terms of their e-visa, which includes leaving Australia before the visa's expiration date. If they are unable to leave on time due to unforeseen circumstances, they should immediately contact the Australian Embassy to explain the situation and seek viable solutions, such as requesting a visa extension or resolving the matter in a timely and transparent manner.
