Protection Visas

If you fear harm in your home country and cannot safely return, you may be eligible for a Protection Visa in Australia. This visa grants lawful stay and security for people in need of refuge. At MyVisa Lawyers, I provide sensitive and professional legal assistance to individuals seeking safety, helping you navigate the complex process with care and precision.

What Is a Protection Visa?

A Protection Visa (Subclass 866) allows a person already in Australia to remain lawfully if they meet the definition of a refugee or face substantial risk of harm if returned to their home country. Key features include:

• Eligibility for permanent residency in Australia if granted.
• Access to Medicare, work rights, and study opportunities.
• Ability to apply for family reunion through sponsorship.
• Strict requirements to prove fear of persecution or serious harm.

Applicants must be in Australia when applying and must meet health, character, and identity requirements in addition to refugee or complementary protection criteria.

Who Is This For?

This visa is for individuals who:

• Fear persecution in their home country due to race, religion, nationality, political opinion, or membership of a social group.
• Risk significant harm if forced to return home.
• Are already in Australia and need protection under international obligations.
• Seek lawful status and security in Australia after fleeing danger.
