What is a Protection Visa?
A Protection Visa (subclass 866) enables individuals already in Australia to apply for asylum if they fear persecution, harm or inhumane treatment upon returning to their home country. This visa is a vital humanitarian safeguard, ensuring personal safety and protecting fundamental human rights.

Who may apply for a Protection Visa?

• Individuals fearing persecution due to race, religion, gender, political opinion or membership of a particular social group.
• Individuals at risk of torture, violence, execution or inhumane treatment if returned.
• Individuals physically present in Australia who meet the eligibility requirements.
