Asylum seekers who arrive in Australia by boat or plane without visas will no longer have access to free immigration services.

Immigration Minister Scott Morrison said that from Monday the government would cease funding the services, which he likened to "taxpayer-funded legal advice".

The move, announced during the 2013 election campaign, is expected to save the government $100 million over four years.

The announcement was condemned at the time, with refugee advocates arguing that many asylum seekers did not have the money to pay for professional advice, while the Greens said the move could put asylum seekers in jeopardy if they could not appeal their applications.
