Visa Perlindungan

What is a Protection Visa in Australia?

A Protection Visa allows individuals who meet Australia's refugee or complementary protection criteria to remain lawfully in Australia. It is generally granted to people who are unable to return to their home country due to a well-founded fear of persecution or serious harm. This visa provides a pathway to lawful stay and, in some cases, permanent residency depending on the visa subclass and circumstances.
