About Protection Visa Australia Requirements

This guide explains the requirements and practical evidence tasks for an Australian onshore Protection visa (subclass 866).

A focused information guide

Protection Visa Australia Requirements is an independent information website. It is not a law firm, migration practice or government service. General information cannot decide whether your own circumstances meet a legal test.

Sources and updates

Substantive pages use Home Affairs, Australian legislation, the Administrative Review Tribunal and other government or education sources. Sources were checked on 8 October 2026. Changes in law, forms and fees can affect an application; check the linked official source and get legal advice before acting.

The registered law firm behind this guide’s enquiry pathway is Australian Legal Partnership Pty Ltd (ACN 656 815 539), trading as Australian Migration Lawyers. With consent, an enquiry goes to an Australian migration lawyer at that firm. A service relationship and its scope are confirmed by that practice; submitting this form does not create an appointment or promise representation.

Use the enquiry form for a short general description of your stage. Do not send sensitive evidence through it. Privacy explains how enquiries and page-finder phrases are handled.
