The visa fee is AUD 2,000 per month, recorded on the Immigration Division fee list

As a protection-linked visa, applications are handled directly by the Immigration Division rather than through a general downloadable form

How to apply

Because this is a protection-linked visa tied to refugee status, there is no public general-purpose application form for it in the way there is for the visitor, business or dependant visas. Applications are administered by the Immigration Division of the Department of Justice & Border Control, and the process depends on the individual's protection status.

Contact the Immigration Division directly to confirm the current procedure, supporting documents and fee arrangements before relying on any figure.
