Summary: 

The Pacific Engagement Visa (PEV) is a new permanent visa program delivered by the Australian Government that was launched in 2024. Under the PEV, up to 3,000 visas will be allocated to Pacific and Timor-Leste nationals annually by a ballot process across participating countries. Applicants selected in the ballot are able to apply for permanent residence in Australia. 

The PEV aims to increase permanent migration from the Pacific and Timor-Leste, growing the diaspora in Australia, strengthening people-to-people links, and encouraging greater cultural, business and educational exchange. DFAT has appointed a consortium led by Icon Agency (the Icon Consortium) to deliver the Pacific Engagement Visa offshore support services. Consortium partner Island Spirit is responsible for in-country services, supporting PEV clients in each participating country through the ballot, visa application and pre-departure stages.
