Sudan-born man charged with alleged visa breaches in NSW

A Sudan-born man is expected to face Campbelltown Local Court today (21 January, 2026) charged with allegedly failing to comply with his visa-mandated curfew conditions.

The man, 31, initially faced court on 9 January, 2026 – where he was remanded in custody – after he was located by the AFP in Sydney, NSW, earlier that day.

It will be alleged the man breached a condition of his Commonwealth visa by failing to observe his residential curfew obligations.

The man has been charged with two counts of failing to remain at a notified address, contrary to section 76C(1) of the Migration Act 1958 (Cth).

This offence carries a maximum penalty of five years’ imprisonment and/or a $99,000 fine.
