In-country Special Humanitarian Visa – Subclass 201

What is Subclass 201 Visa?

The subclass 201 in-country special humanitarian visa is a permanent visa. The 201 visa is part of the Refugee category of the humanitarian program. When this humanitarian visa is applied, the Department will also consider all other Class XB visas (Subclass 200, Subclass 202, Subclass 203 and Subclass 204).

To be eligible for this visa:

  • You are living in your home country;

  • You are subject to persecution in your home country;

  • You are not been able to leave your home country to seek refuge elsewhere;

  • You are invited by the Minister that you are in one of those classes specified by the Minister; and you are at risk of harm for reasons relating to being in that class of persons;

  • You have a proposal who is Australian permanent resident or citizen who holds or has hold a Subclass 200 visa and you are a member of the immediate family of the proposer;

  • You must meet the ‘compelling reasons’ .

‘Class of persons’

The Minister may specify in an instrument, in writing, one or more classes of person eligible for resettlement under this program.

An applicant must be certified at the time of application by a relevant Government Minister as a member of the class of persons and at risk of harm for that reason. At time of decision the applicant must continue to be certified.

What Questions Do Migration Agents Ask Our Accredited Specialists

  1. Under what business structure, can a job placement company, apply to be a sponsor with the sole purpose of charging a fee to visa applicants? And is there a method which would allow the sponsor to place the visa applicant with another unrelated business?

  2. How can employers charge a payment to the visa applicants in exchange to sponsor, without being caught under the immigration offence ‘cash for visa’?

  3. How many types of visas (including streams), can a Temporary Activities Sponsor benefit from, in sponsoring more candidates? And are there any difference in the sponsorship obligation?

  4. Can a visa applicant pay for costs related to the visa applicant? or must the Sponsor pay for all costs? How do I explain & educate my client, a large company who does not wish to pay for any costs for the sponsorship because the Director feels that the visa applicant has more to benefit than the company.

  5. In what circumstances will a visa applicant lose their right to appeal a refusal?
