During the consideration of an application for granting refugee status, the applicant is granted a “bridging” visa. With its help, a foreigner can find a job, send children to school, as well as legitimize their stay in Australia.

Relocation and medical expenses for visa applicants for 201, 203 and 204 subclass are paid by the Australian government. Visa 202 subclass is paid by the sponsor (citizen, permanent resident or authorized organization).

Australian authorities are very strict with illegal immigrants! If a person could not prove the fact that he was subjected to harassment on the territory of his country, he would be immediately deported. Also, according to the policy of the “Pacific resolution”, if the authorities catch an immigrant in the territorial waters of the country, the person is sent to a special camp where he will stay until the moment of deportation (the camp is located on the Pacific Islands).

This is done to prevent the flow of illegal immigrants, as well as to protect the country and the inhabitants of the Australian state.
