What is the Protection Visa?
Permanent visa · genuine asylum seekers · strictly assessed
The Protection visa (subclass 866) is a permanent visa for people already in Australia who are unable to return to their home country due to a real risk of persecution or serious harm. It is strictly for genuine asylum seekers and carries serious legal consequences if misused.
Key Features
- Permanent residency if the visa is granted
- Access to Medicare and social services
- Work and study rights in Australia
- Note: Travel document restrictions apply — a different document is used in place of a passport
Basic Requirements
- Must be in Australia and have been immigration cleared
- Meet Australia's protection obligations under the Refugee Convention or complementary protection
- Provide credible, detailed evidence supporting protection claims
- Pass security and national security checks
- Pass character requirements
- Pass health checks
Applying without genuine protection claims can lead to refusal and long-term immigration consequences. This is a serious visa application that requires credible, evidence-based claims.
