If you are a TPV or SHEV holder who first arrived in Australia on or after 14 February 2023, you can apply for a subsequent TPV or SHEV. To remain lawful you must apply before your TPV or SHEV expires.
TPV or SHEV holders who first arrived in Australia before 14 February 2023 are eligible to apply for a permanent
Resolution of Status visa.
I have already submitted a subsequent TPV or SHEV application. Can I apply for the Resolution of Status (RoS) visa?
If you made a valid application for a subsequent TPV or SHEV before 14 February 2023, you do not need to do anything. We will convert your application to an application for a
RoS visa, and we will extend the validity of your TPV or SHEV until we have decided the application. The Department will contact you if we require further information.
Your visa conditions and access to benefits and services will not change while we are processing the RoS visa application.
The Department will notify you if you have satisfied the criteria and we have granted you the RoS visa.
My TPV or SHEV expires soon, when can I apply for the Resolution of Status (RoS) visa?
TPV and SHEV holders who first arrived in Australia before 14 February 2023 can now apply online for a RoS visa through
ImmiAccount. They must apply before their TPV or SHEV ceases.
The online application form includes a notification of a section 46A application bar lift.
You must apply online unless the Department has authorised you in writing to lodge a paper application form and notified you of an application bar lift.
If we have already provided you with the paper application form and notified you of an application bar lift, you can still apply online.
