    Refugee and Humanitarian Visa Australia


    The Australia Refugee and Humanitarian Visa program offers protection and resettlement options for those in need. This visa category is designed for individuals who are outside their home country and cannot return due to persecution or substantial discrimination. Here’s what obtaining an Australia humanitarian visa may allow you to do:

    • Live in Australia permanently
    • Work and study in Australia
    • Access Medicare, Australia’s public healthcare scheme
    • Apply for Australian citizenship (subject to residency eligibility)
    • Sponsor eligible family members for permanent residence

    Types of Refugee and Humanitarian
    Visa to Australia

    Protection Visa (Subclass 866)

    The 866 visa is for those already in Australia who seek asylum. Moreover, it’s for individuals who genuinely fear persecution in their home country. If granted, this visa enables you to stay in Australia permanently, work and study, and enjoy the benefits of the Australian healthcare system. It’s a crucial step towards building a safe and secure future in your new homeland.

    Safe Haven Enterprise Visa (Subclass 790)

    Designed for those who arrived in Australia unlawfully and need protection as a refugee, the SHEV or 790 visa is a temporary humanitarian visa that grants successful applicants and their eligible family members up to five (5) years of residency, study, and work entitlements in Australia. It’s a worthwhile opportunity for refugees who may suffer from persecution if they return back home.

    Global Special Humanitarian Visa (Subclass 202)

    For individuals outside Australia with a proposer, the Global Special Humanitarian Visa Australia offers is a chance for eligible candidates to start over in safety and security. This Australian humanitarian visa is for those who are subject to significant discrimination and human rights abuses in their home country. It allows for permanent residency in Australia and provides a stable foundation to rebuild your life with dignity.

    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.

      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
