Refugee Visas

Applying for protection is often a last resort, taken after difficult and sometimes traumatic experiences. Australia’s refugee laws are intricate and continually evolving, so every application must be drafted with precision and backed by credible, up‑to‑date evidence. At Estrin Saul Lawyers, we combine deep legal expertise with genuine compassion, ensuring each claim is presented clearly and persuasively.

How we can help

Our specialists represent people inside Australia seeking protection, both in the community and in immigration detention. We assist clients with preparing Protection Visa (Subclass 866) applications and gathering current country‑of‑origin information to demonstrate the real risk of persecution or significant harm. We also assist clients who have been refused protection in Australia, representing them in their appeals before the Administrative Review Tribunal and, where necessary, the Federal Courts.

Our team can assist with:

  • Lodging Protection Visa applications (Subclass 866)
  • Advising on and responding to visa cancellations
  • Appealing negative decisions at the Administrative Review Tribunal (ART)
  • Navigating complex situations involving Temporary Protection Visas (TPV 785), Safe Haven Enterprise Visas (SHEV 790), and Resolution of Status Visas (ROS 851).

Please note that we do not assist with offshore humanitarian visa applications (including Subclass 202). While we understand how important these matters are, the lengthy and uncertain processing period means that our professional representation often does not result in any meaningful advantage or faster outcome for applicants. We therefore focus our services on visa subclasses where we can make a tangible difference to the outcome or processing of the application.

Throughout the Protection visa process, we offer honest and realistic advice, ensuring each case has the best possible chance of success.

I reached out to Estrin Saul for help with my Expression of Interest (EOI) issues, and Mitch Simmons was assigned to my case. Mitch was exceptionally helpful, going above and beyond to ensure I had all the necessary evidence to submit to the Migration Office. His support and guidance were invaluable, and I am incredibly grateful for his dedication. Today, I received the fantastic news that my visa has been granted! I can’t thank Mitch enough for everything he has done.

We have found Estrin Saul have to be prompt, reliable, efficient and strategically valuable. Estrin Saul’s point of difference is lateral and creative thinking when it comes to relocations and skills shortages – this differentiates them from other providers who are far more transactional in nature, without necessarily taking the time to understand the business.

Our family had a fantastic experience with Estrin Saul Immigration Lawyers. Daniel and Mark were amazing, guiding us through every step with care and expertise. They turned a tough situation—being given only 28 days to leave the country after a refused visa—into us becoming permanent residents. Their service was exceptional, and their support made all the difference. We can’t recommend them highly enough!
