Safe Haven Enterprise visa (subclass 790) preparation checklist

General information only. Protection matters are highly individual and legally complex. Whether a person engages Australia's protection obligations or qualifies is a legal question for a registered migration agent or immigration lawyer. Free or low-cost legal help is often available and is generally worth seeking first.

Check the official Home Affairs page for the subclass 790 visa for the current eligibility shape, conditions and any charge. This content is general and may not reflect the latest changes.

In general terms, applications rely on documents that establish who a person is. A registered practitioner can advise on what is appropriate in an individual's circumstances.

Keep current contact and address details ready so the department can reach the applicant during processing. Administrative only.

Typically, protection-related applications involve the standard health and character requirements that apply across the visa program, and documents for any family unit members being included. A practitioner can advise on what applies.

Lodgement is generally completed online through the applicant's own ImmiAccount, following the current official instructions. Check the official page for the correct lodgement path.

After lodging, update contact details if they change and respond to any departmental requests, ideally with the registered practitioner or legal service who is assisting. Processing times vary.
