Onshore Protection Visa
The Onshore Protection Visa is available to refugees as defined by Australian Law. To be considered a refugee under Australian law the person must meet specific legal criteria and have a well-founded fear of future persecution. There must be a real risk that the person would face persecution if you were to return to your home country. There must also be a real risk that they would face persecution if they were to return to their home country. Past experiences of persecution can also help establish that risk if the person were to go back.
Determining Factors
To qualify as a refugee, a person must fear serious harm due to one of the following five reasons:
- Race
- Religion
- Nationality
- Membership In A Particular Social Group
- Political Opinion
General Requirements
It’s important to note that leaving a home country due to war, famine, or the search for better economic opportunities does not make someone a refugee under the Act. To be classified as a refugee, the person must have a well-founded fear of persecution based on one of the reasons above and must meet other requirements.
