Between 7 October 2023 and 20 August 2025, the Department of Home Affairs processed 59,480 travellers from Israel, Palestinian Territories, Jordan, Egypt, Lebanon, and Syria, refusing immigration clearance to 37 individuals. Refusals were predominantly from Israeli travellers (16 refused), primarily for visa cancellation under section 116 involving bogus documents (12 cases). Lebanese arrivals accounted for 6 refusals, mostly under section 172(3) for lacking valid visas or passport fraud. Egyptian and Jordanian refusals numbered fewer than 5 each.
