You need to be fully jabbed to get a Visa for Australia.

Novak Djokovic has had his Visa cancelled and been told to leave Australia.

He arrived in the country to defend his Australian Open title after being given a vaccine exemption.

The Serb, who is the defending champion in Melbourne, has not revealed his vaccination status, but has previously spoken out against vaccinations.

But Border Force officials have confirmed he failed to provide appropriate evidence to meet entry requirements.

Djokovic is appealing the decision and his legal challenge is being held right now.

However, Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison insisted Djokovic would receive no special treatment.

He says Djokovic failed to provide sufficient proof to be allowed a Visa.
