Australia cancels Djokovic visa again fears losing the Australian Open for 3 years

Because Djokovic did not inform border agency staff of his previous visit to Spain at the time of entry, Australian Federal Government Immigration Minister Hawke today decided to cancel Djokovic's visa and he will be deported.

Previously, Djokovic was granted a "medical exemption" at the Australian Open, but due to disputes over the conditions of the "medical exemption", the Australian government determined that Djokovic had violated the rules because he had not been vaccinated against the new crown, canceled his visa and refused entry. After being denied entry, Djokovic stayed in the immigration hotel for several days and appealed.

At a hearing on January 10, a local court in Melbourne declared Djokovic a winner of the legal action on the grounds that the proceedings were incorrect. However, under australian immigration law, the Australian Department of Immigration still has the power to revoke Djokovic's visa again.
