Australia cancels Novak Djokovic’s visa to enter the country, local authorities said. This happened after the Serbian tennis player spent more than 8 hours at the airport in Melbourne, where a problem with his visa was found.
in all likelihood, the revocation of the visa means that Djokovic will not play in the Australian Open. The tournament will take place between January 17 and 30.
Local media initially reported that Djokovic’s team made a mistake in submitting the documents for visa. It then became clear that the problem with Djokovic’s visa was that it did not include entering the country without a vaccine and with a medical exception.
The day before he received the green light to participate in the Australian Open after a medical exception that allowed the organizers to play in Melbourne without requiring a vaccine.
According to Reuters, Djokovic was informed by the Melbourne border authorities that his visa had been revoked and he had to be deported from the country. However, the tennis player’s lawyers are likely to appeal, and he himself has filed a petition to prevent his deportation.
Chronology
Djokovic landed in Melbourne around 11:30 pm local time on January 5, but at this time it is still not allowed by the border authorities. Age and Herald Sun have reported that the Serbian tennis player has visa problems.
Djokovic’s team has submitted documents for the wrong type of visa.
