  your substantive visa ends before you aregranted
  another visa or you are making arrangements to
  leave Australia.
• If you are in Australia without a visa, you are
  an unlawful non-citizen. This can cause problems
  such as
•  you risk being detained and removed from
  Australia
•  you might not be granted any other visa for
  three years after you leave Australia
•  you might have a debt to the Australian
  Government for the cost of your removal.
