9.2.12.20 Visa Subclass 851 Resolution of Status (Permanent) (Class BL)

When the TPV arrangements were abolished from 9 August 2008 this visa subclass was also abolished from this date.

However, visas already issued under this subclass will remain valid until they expire or the holders are granted another visa.

All new applications for a visa subclass 851 Resolution of Status will be considered for visa subclass 851 Resolution of Status (Permanent) (Class CD) (9.2.12.30).
