Note: Section 303 of the Act provides that the Migration Agents Registration Authority may suspend the registration of a registered migration agent or caution him or her. If a registered migration agent is subject to a suspension of his or her registration, or a caution, particulars of the suspension or caution are shown on the Register of Migration Agents: subsection 287(2) of the Act. These particulars must be removed once the suspension or caution is no longer in effect: subsection 287(5) of the Act.
 (6) If an applicant (other than an applicant for a Visitor (Class TV) visa) or interested person is required or permitted to produce a document in connection with the visa application, the document and the written communication that accompanies it may be in the form of an electronic communication only if:
 (a) the document is in a class of documents specified in a legislative instrument made by the Minister as documents that may be sent by electronic communication; or
 (b) the Minister has permitted the applicant or interested person to send the document by electronic communication.
 (7) For subregulation (6), if the Minister requires an applicant or interested person to give the Minister the original of a document that has already been given by electronic communication:
 (a) the giving of the original, otherwise than by electronic communication, is a prescribed way of communication; and
 (b) subregulation (5) applies to the original of the document.
 (8) An applicant for a Visitor (Class TV) visa must communicate with the Minister about the application:
 (a) by electronic communication; or
 (b) in another form permitted by the Minister.
Note: This regulation is subject to sections 56 and 58 of the Act, which provide that the Minister may specify the way in which additional information or comments about an application may be given by an applicant. If the Minister specifies a way in which further information or comments must be given for the purposes of either of those sections, the information or comments must be given in that way. Regulation 2.13 then does not apply.

2.14  Where written communication must be sent
  For the purposes of section 52 of the Act (which deals with the way in which an applicant or interested person must communicate with the Minister), a written communication to the Minister about an application must be sent to or left at:
 (a) the office at which the application was given to the Minister; or
 (b) if the Minister has notified the applicant in writing of another office in substitution for that office—that other office.

2.15  Response to invitation to give additional information or comments—prescribed periods
 (1) For the purposes of subsection 58(2) of the Act
