The Pacific Engagement visa (subclass 192) – Treaty stream (Tuvalu) is for Tuvaluan nationals only and implements Australia’s obligations under the Australia-Tuvalu Falepili Union treaty.
The Australian Government will allocate up to 280 Treaty stream places to Tuvalu nationals each year. This includes partners and dependent children.
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 and pre-departure stages
