Temporary protection visa
A temporary protection visa (TPV) is a visa issued by the Australian government to persons who have been recognised as refugees fleeing persecution. TPVs were introduced on 20 October 1999 by the Howard government in response to what it claimed was misuse of the asylum process by unauthorised arrivals, and its implementation was modified in October 2001.
