Humanitarian and Refugee Visas
Humanitarian visas are designed to help people subjected to persecution in their home country and with a need to resettle.
Protection Visa
The Protection visa is part of the Protection, Refugee and Humanitarian visa category prescribed in Regulations Schedule 1 Part 4. This is a permanent visa for persons in Australia who are found to be owed protection obligations.
The criteria for grant of Protection visa are prescribed in Regulations Schedule 2. Whether an applicant is granted a permanent protection visa (PPV) will depend on the facts of each case and the applicant’s ability to satisfy the relevant criteria under the Act and the Regulations for the grant of the visa.
Refugee Visa
This visa is for people who are subject to persecution in their home country and are in need of resettlement. The majority of applicants who are considered under this category are identified by the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) and referred to the Australian Government by the UNHCR.
Global Special Humanitarian Program Visa (Subclass 202)
This visa was designed for people who are suffering from discrimination and some sort of human right abuse in their own country. To be eligible, an Australian citizen, permanent resident (over 18 years) or an organization working in Australia has to propose you to enter to Australia.
Woman at Risk Visa (Subclass 204)
This visa will help women in danger of persecution, sexual abuse or harassment, who don’t have any other type of protection and can be victimised due to her gender to come into Australia under the concern of the United High Commissioner for Refugees.
