    790 Visa Australia

    The 790 visa, formally known as the Safe Haven Enterprise Visa (SHEV), is designed for individuals who arrived in Australia illegally and seek protection. It acknowledges the unique circumstances of applicants needing safety. It offers eligible candidates a chance to start anew in Australia.

    With this visa, qualified applicants will have the following benefits:

    • Permission to work in Australia: It allows you to work and contribute to your self-sufficiency and the Australian economy.
    • Study in Australia: Grants access to educational institutions for better personal and professional development.
    • Access to Medicare: Ensures health coverage for medical needs for your peace of mind.
    • Free English classes: If you’re eligible, you can attend English language classes for free.
    • Short-term Counsel: As an individual who sought asylum, you shall be entitled to counselling for trauma and torture as needed
    • 790 Visa Pathway to further visas: Offers a potential pathway to other visas, including permanent residency, under certain conditions.

    Is subclass 790 a permanent visa? It is not a PR visa, but eligible applicants can qualify for permanent residency through subclass 851 visa (Resolution of Status) if they had their SHEV visa subclass 790 before 14 February 2023.

    Subclass 790 Visa conditions

    It’s essential to understand that the 790 visa comes with specific requirements aimed at ensuring applicants are genuinely in need of protection. These subclass 790 visa conditions are:

    • Must not have arrived in Australia legally
    • Be subject to substantial discrimination in your home country
    • Meet Australia’s protection obligations
    • Not be considered a security or character risk to the Australian community
    • Comply with Australian laws and visa conditions during your stay

    Visa 790 Australia Application Process

    Applying for a Safe Haven Enterprise Visa subclass 790 involves several steps designed to assess your eligibility and need for protection. These application steps are as follows.

    • Eligibility Assessment: Determine if you meet the basic criteria for protection under Australian laws.
    • Documents Gathering: Prepare and review all the documents you need to support your application
    • Application Submission: Complete and submit the necessary forms and documentation to the Department.
    • Interview: Attend an interview where your claims for protection will be assessed.
    • Visa Decision: Wait for the Department of Home Affairs to make a decision on your application.

    Visa Subclass 790 Processing Time and Costs

    The processing time for a safe haven visa 790 can vary widely depending on individual circumstances and each case’s complexity. Visa subclass 790 processing time may be prolonged if documents submitted were incomplete or inaccurate.

    Consider hiring an immigration professional to help with your requirements and ensure the completeness and accuracy of your submitted requirements.

    As for costs, applicants might incur charges related to health checks, police certificates, and the visa application fee (A$45). Both processing times and costs are always subject to change so it’s best to consult with an immigration lawyer for the most current information.

    Thong and Marlene helped my partner gain permanent residency in Australia. We did the application ourselves but it turned out lots of information we needed to provide was missing. Thong and Marlene picked our case up and helped amend it. I really appreciate their help and guidance and look forward to contacting them again in the future. I am pleased by their efforts and professionalism.

      Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)


      What is the difference between a 790 visa and a 866 visa?

      The 790 (SHEV) visa is for those who arrived illegally and seek protection. The 866 visa, meanwhile, is a permanent protection visa for people who arrived legally in Australia.

      Can I apply for a 790 visa outside Australia?

      No, the 790 visa application must be made while you are in Australia as an unlawful entrant.

      How long can I stay in Australia on a 790 visa?

      The 790 visa is a temporary visa that allows you to legally stay in Australia for up to five (5) years.

      Can family members be included in my 790 visa application?

      Yes, you can include eligible family members in your application.

      What happens after my 790 visa expires?

      You may be eligible to apply for another subclass 790 safe haven enterprise visa or a temporary protection visa, provided you satisfy said visa’s eligibility and conditions. Notably, you must apply for another visa before your 790 visa expires.

      Is it possible to travel outside Australia on a 790 visa?

      Yes, BUT you need to apply for and be granted a travel facility before leaving Australia to return on your SHEV, and you need to provide a compelling reason for your need to travel.

      Our process was a little complicated. But we got the right advice from Shan through the 2 years the process was on before we successfully completed it recently.

      I trusted Parish Patience with my migration and skills assessment process and unfortunately had a very disappointing experience. Initially, I was advised by Mr Golam and Upasana to proceed with my Subclass 485 pathway. Based on their advice, I paid for skills assessment and also completed a PTE exam. However, I later found out that an important requirement for my VETASSESS application — having at least one year of relevant post-qualification work experience — had not been clearly explained to me before lodging the application. My application was submitted using work experience from before my studies and the outcome was negative. After that, I was advised that applying through Engineers Australia using the CDR pathway would be easier and would give me a better chance of receiving a positive skills assessment outcome. I followed their advice again, paid additional fees, but unfortunately received another negative outcome. During this process, two separate Subclass 485 visa applications were lodged and later withdrawn. I experienced significant financial loss through application fees, assessments, and English testing costs. I was fortunate that I still held a valid student visa, which made it possible to withdraw the applications without further complications. From my personal experience, I felt the communication, assessment of eligibility, and overall service quality were poor. I also did not receive any compensation or satisfactory resolution for the losses I experienced. I hope future clients receive clearer advice about eligibility requirements and possible risks before committing financially.

      I cannot thank Shan and his entire team Devika Veluchamy, usman ali,enough for the incredible work they did on my protection visa case. After a long and stressful journey, my protection visa has finally been approved, and I truly believe this would not have been possible without their hard work, professionalism, dedication, and support throughout the entire process. Shan handled my case with great care, honesty, and deep knowledge of immigration law. He was always professional, patient, and genuinely supportive during one of the most difficult times of my life. His assistants and the whole team were also extremely kind, responsive, and helpful whenever I had questions or needed assistance. I highly recommend Shan and his entire team to anyone dealing with immigration or protection visa matters. Thank you again for everything you have done for me and my future. I will always be grateful. — Abbas Khan
