A new finding by immigration lawyers Reiss Edwards reveals that online searches for ‘Cancel Australia Visa’ skyrocketed to over eight times the average volume in the following hours after the ruling, an unprecedented spike in people Googling how to cancel Australian visas, according to analysis of Google Trends.

Amar Ali Managing Director at Reiss Edwards, a top-tier immigration law firm based in central London, commented on the findings:

“These findings highlight the enormous influence that tennis champion, Novak Djokovic has, with his case prompting a monumental increase in people searching how to cancel their visas to Australia. It is a testament to the sports champions popularity that he is not only bringing an enormous amount of attention towards the Australian Open, which will likely boost the viewing figures, but also creating a wider conversation surrounding visa requirements during the pandemic.
