78: Deemed extension of temporary entry class visa expiring during epidemic
or “Automatic extension of temporary visas during epidemics”
You could also call this:

“Removed: Rules for extending temporary visas by special direction no longer apply”

This part of the law was about extending temporary entry class visas by special direction. However, it is no longer in effect. The government removed this section from the Immigration Act 2009 on 15 May 2023. This means that the rules it contained no longer apply, and you can’t use them anymore.
