Pacific Engagement visa (Subclass 192)

The government of Australia introduced a new Pacific Engagement visa (PEV) for nationals of participating Pacific Island countries and Timor-Leste. The Pacific Engagement visa will grow Australia's Pacific migration. It will allow connection between stronger people-to-people and greater cultural, business, and educational exchange.

 

The Pacific Engagement visa aims to provide 3,000 places annually, including partners and dependent children, for citizens of participating Timor-Leste and Pacific Island countries and their immediate family members, offering them permanent places in Australia. Each year, a ballot process will decide the allotment of PEV, and individuals selected through this process can apply for permanent residency.

 

The first ballot for the Pacific Engagement visa (PEV) is anticipated to begin in mid-2024, once all remaining administrative arrangements for the visa are in place, and Pacific governments and Timor-Leste have had time to consider the final arrangements. This follows the Pacific Engagement (subclass 192) visa regulations that will take effect after the Amendment Act on 29 March 2024.
