Temporary Protection Visa

A Temporary Protection Visa (TPV) is a type of Australian visa granted to eligible asylum seekers and refugees, allowing them to stay and work in Australia for a limited period, typically three years. It provides temporary protection from deportation but does not lead to permanent residency or citizenship. TPV holders may face restrictions on travel and future visa options, and they often need to seek other visas if they wish to remain in Australia long-term. It’s designed as a temporary solution while their claims are assessed or as a short-term protection measure.
