A Protection Visa (Subclass 866) is a type of visa offered by the Australian government to individuals who are seeking protection from persecution or serious harm in their home country.

Individuals who are in Australia, meet the criteria of being a refugee or a person in need of protection, and fulfil other requirements set by the Department of Home Affairs can apply for a Subclass 866 Protection Visa.

Being a refugee means that an individual has a well-founded fear of persecution in their home country due to reasons such as race, religion, nationality, political opinion, or membership in a particular social group.

No, the Subclass 866 Protection Visa is only available for individuals who are already in Australia at the time of application.
