Ukranians Visa options for Australia.
A Press Release dated 20 March 2022.
In order to support those 5,000 already visa’d Ukrainians to come to Australia, and they are coming across a range of different visa programs that are coming on skilled visa programs on family programs.
They’re coming on student visas, they’re coming on tourist visas.
In all of these cases, when they arrive in Australia, we will make available to them a temporary humanitarian visa.
This visa will be valid for a period of three years. They will have the opportunity and be invited to apply for other longer term visas should they wish to do so.
This temporary humanitarian visa will give them the opportunity to work, to study and to access Medicare.
It is expected that more information on this will be available in the coming days.
