LGBTQA+ protection visa Australia
Navigate same-sex immigration with expert advice from our registered migration agents
Applying for a protection visa in Australia as an LGBTQI+ individual can be complex. As an LGBTQI+ applicant, your claim for protection could be based on the fear of harm due to your sexual orientation or gender identity. It's important to demonstrate that returning to your home country would put you at risk of violence, discrimination, or other forms of harm.
Under the Migration Act, a well-founded fear of persecution can be based on membership in a particular social group, which includes LGBTQI individuals who face discrimination or harm due to their sexual orientation or gender identity.
At Australian Migration Agents, our registered migration agents specialise in assisting LGBTQI+ individuals navigating the protection visa process. We provide expert guidance tailored to your specific situation, ensuring your application is as strong as possible.

What is a same-sex protection visa?
A same-sex protection visa is a humanitarian visa that allows individuals to seek refuge in Australia if they face persecution or serious harm in their home country due to their sexual orientation. This visa, often known as the Protection Visa (subclass 866), is designed for those who fear returning to their country because of the threat of discrimination, violence, or legal consequences related to their sexuality. Applicants must demonstrate a well-founded fear of persecution under one of the 5 categories listed under the Migration Act. The visa grants them safety in Australia, offering the right to live, work, and access healthcare, with the possibility of permanent residency if granted.

How same-sex protection visas work in Australia
Same-sex protection visas in Australia allow individuals who face persecution or harm due to their sexual orientation or gender identity to seek refuge. To apply, applicants must be in Australia and demonstrate a well-founded fear of persecution in their home country. After the application has been submitted the individuals may be placed on a bridging visa while awaiting the outcome of their application.
Successful visa applications offer safety, granting access to essential services, the right to work, and the possibility of permanent residency. If the Department grants you the 866 visa you can travel to and from Australia for 5 years from the date the visa is granted. After 5 years, if you leave Australia you will need a Resident Return (RRV) visa if you want to re-enter Australia.

The Protection Visa (subclass 866) is a permanent visa, meaning once granted you are an Australian Permanent Resident. After holding a protection visa for a certain period individuals may be eligible to apply for, and become, an Australian citizen.

Who is eligible for a protection visa in Australia?

Additionally, applicants must meet the health, character, and security requirements of the Department of Home Affairs
