Permanent protection
If you arrived in Australia legally, you can apply for a
Protection visa (subclass 866).
Temporary Protection
If you arrived in Australia illegally, you may be able to apply for a
Temporary Protection visa (TPV) (subclass 785) or a
Safe Haven Enterprise visa (SHEV) (subclass 790).
If you have already applied for a
TPV or a
SHEV, you need to wait for the outcome of that application.
TPV and SHEV holders
If you currently hold a
Temporary Protection visa (subclass 785) or a
Safe Haven Enterprise visa (subclass 790) you must apply for a subsequent
TPV or
SHEV before your current visa ceases.
More information is available about applying for a subsequent temporary protection visa.
