Temporary Humanitarian Visa
Submission
to the Senate Legal and Constitutional References Committee
Inquiry into the Administration and Operation of the Migration
Act 1958
Submitted
July 2005
The submission raises UNHCR’s concern that
Temporary Humanitarian Visa holders are not entitled to family
reunion or Convention Travel Documents, and that in some
cases the lack of access to these entitlements may be indefinite.
Ministerial discretion powers can be used to render THV holders
permanent visas, however, new guidelines are needed to ensure
that all relevant cases are referred by DIMIA to the Minister.
