Refugee, Humanitarian and Protection visas
We at Amity Lawyers have a proud history of assisting clients with their protection claims. Based on our experience of working with clients from different regions in the world and from all walks of life, we understand how stressful it can be to apply for a protection visa, particularly for vulnerable individuals. That is why we are committed to assisting our clients every step of the way to ensure their needs are met. We can provide you legal assistance with the following protection type matters:
