Report on the Processing Status and Outcomes - August 2018 - Paper 

This report provides information on the processing status and outcomes of the applicants who are Illegal Maritime Arrivals (IMAs) and are in the IMA Legacy Caseload.

IMAs can only apply for a Temporary Protection Visa (subclass 785) (TPV) or a Safe Haven Enterprise Visa (subclass 790) (SHEV) if the Minister has made a decision that it is in the public interest to lift a legislative bar on making a valid visa application in Australia. 

Where the Minister lifts the bar, the Department will advise the IMA that they are eligible to apply for a TPV or a SHEV.
