Temporary Protection Visas (TPV) and Safe Haven Enterprise Visas (SHEV)

This information is for asylum seekers who arrived by boat or plane without a valid visa or who were not immigration cleared.

 

If you are found to be owed protection obligations by the Australian Government as part of the protection visa application process, you can be granted either a Temporary Protection Visa (TPV) or a Safe Haven Enterprise Visa (SHEV).
