After 1 July 2016, those particular application pathways and address rules no longer exist.\n\n**Why it matters:** This is a \"cleanup\" exercise removing outdated visa rules. If you were planning to apply under one of the old 2014 categories, you may need to check current eligibility requirements instead."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/migration-regulations-1994-instrument-of-revocation-2016-immi-16-038","history":"/api/acts/migration-regulations-1994-instrument-of-revocation-2016-immi-16-038/history","analysis":"/api/acts/migration-regulations-1994-instrument-of-revocation-2016-immi-16-038/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/migration-regulations-1994-instrument-of-revocation-2016-immi-16-038/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/migration-regulations-1994-instrument-of-revocation-2016-immi-16-038/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/migration-regulations-1994-instrument-of-revocation-2016-immi-16-038/documents"}}
