The Safe Haven Enterprise visa (SHEV) pathway gives some SHEV holders working and/or studying in regional areas the option to apply for certain visas (including some permanent visas) in Australia.
To be eligible for this pathway you must work without receiving Special Benefit social security payments, and/or study full-time in a SHEV regional area for a total of 42 months (3 and a half years). The 42 months do not have to be continuous and can be over multiple periods while holding a SHEV.
