Child sex offenders, murderers and drug dealers are among 220 foreign nationals living in Queensland who have had their visas cancelled in the past year.

Nationally, 907 visas were cancelled in the last financial year, including 26 child sex offenders, five murderers, 10 sex offenders, 53 drug dealers and 10 domestic violence perpetrators who were living in Queensland.

Home Affairs Minister Peter Dutton said foreign nationals forfeit their ability to live in Australia if they commit serious crimes.
