Hi, I have a friend who lived in Australia for 3 yrs on a Refugee visa and now is back to his home land ....I want to know if he will ever be able to go back to Australia on a student visa with a Refugee status on his pasport. Will that status affect him, if yes, how ?

Can any one help me with this please!!!!!

Normally people get refugee visas because they can't go back to their homelands.

It depends on precisely what you mean by 'refugee visa'. If it was a bridging visa granted on the basis of a refugee application that was later refused, for example, then he will likely find it very difficult to get any future Australian visa.

There are a number of other types of temporary refugee visas. And there is a permanent refugee visa - if he abandoned PR in Australia, he was not being very smart.

You need to be a lot more precise in what you are asking.
