2023

In 2023, East Timor participated in consultations to design Australia’s Pacific Engagement Visa (PEV). The PEV aims to increase permanent migration from East Timor and the Pacific, growing the diaspora in Australia, strengthening people-to-people links and encouraging greater cultural business and educational exchange. Starting in 2024, up to 3,000 visas will be allocated annually through a ballot process to eligible individuals, who would then be able to apply for permanent residence in Australia.
