The second ballot draw for the Pacific Engagement Visa (PEV) will take place on Friday, February 14.

This permanent residence visa allows people from Vanuatu to access education, healthcare, and employment opportunities in Australia.

Australian High Commissioner to Vanuatu, H.E. Max Willis, stated in an official release that the visa program strengthens the relationship between Australia and Vanuatu.

According to the Australian High Commission, only applications submitted during the June 2024 registration period will be included in this second ballot draw.

Applicants who registered in the first ballot are advised to check their ImmiAccount and registered email after February 14 to see if they have been selected.

The Pacific Engagement Visa is also available to other Pacific nations and Timor-Leste.
