- What it is for
- This form is used to request written approval to enter a person's country of reference where visa condition 8559 would otherwise prohibit that travel. The Department assesses whether compassionate and compelling circumstances justify the entry before any approval is given.
- Who completes it
- The visa holder subject to condition 8559 (a primary or secondary holder of a Permanent Protection visa subclass 866 granted on or after 3 June 2013).
- Information it collects (in general terms)
- General categories include the applicant's identity and visa details, an explanation of the compassionate and compelling reasons for the intended travel, travel document details, and any supporting evidence of the circumstances.
- When it is used
- Used before travelling to the country of reference each time such travel is intended, so that the person can obtain written ministerial approval and avoid breaching condition 8559.
