Big John Fisher Faces Deportation Hotel Stay in Australia Due to Visa Mix-Up
British social media influencer Big John Fisher is facing deportation from Australia due to a visa issue. The 51-year-old, known as the ‘Boshfather,’ arrived in Perth after a lengthy 17-hour flight, only to be detained by border patrol upon arrival.
Visa Mix-Up Leads to Detention
Upon entering Australia, Big John Fisher was pulled aside by immigration officials who cited several activities he had planned during his stay. This included multiple meet-and-greet events with fans. The officials informed him that his tourist visa did not permit him to work or allow others to profit from his work while in Australia.
Forced to Cancel Engagements
In an attempt to cooperate, Fisher offered to cancel all his scheduled events and enjoy a holiday instead. Despite his willingness, border patrol held him in his room for four hours before ultimately deciding to deny his entry.
Experience in Deportation Hotel
Big John expressed dissatisfaction with how the situation was handled. He described being ‘manhandled’ at the airport and noted that he was under the watch of four security guards in the deportation hotel. He conveyed his disappointment, especially as his birthday was the following day. Despite the ordeal, he maintained a positive attitude, famously stating his catchphrase: ‘Bosh.’
