Introduction to the Pacific Engagement Visa
Australia is set to launch the Pacific Engagement Visa (PEV) program on June 3, 2024. This innovative initiative is designed to bolster Australia’s ties with Pacific Island nations and Timor-Leste, offering a unique opportunity for up to 3,000 citizens from these regions to migrate annually as permanent residents.

Enhancing Regional Ties
The PEV program represents a strategic move by Australia to deepen cultural, business, and educational connections with the participating countries, including the Federated States of Micronesia, Fiji, Nauru, Palau, Papua New Guinea, Solomon Islands, Timor-Leste, Tonga, Tuvalu, and Vanuatu. It reflects a direct response to the Pacific nations’ calls for enhanced regional mobility, promising significant educational, economic, and developmental dividends.

Visa Application and Support Systems
Interested parties will need to secure a formal, ongoing job offer in Australia and meet standard health and character requirements to qualify. The PEV program utilizes an online ballot system to ensure a fair and transparent selection process. Successful applicants will benefit from comprehensive support services in Australia, such as migrant settlement assistance, English language programs, and access to public education and healthcare.
