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.
