There are agents making announcements on social media that the long awaited Pacific Engagement Visa (PEV) or Australia’s Green Card will officially open on March 29, 2023.
It is now 3am and I have just checked the immi account and nothing has changed, the online PEV is still closed and there is no word from the Australian Immigration!
These con agents are not only lying about the PEV opening date but they have designed their own PEV registration form for interested people to fill online and submit to them.
They are deceiving the public, collecting names and information that when the PEV actually opens, they will demand a fee of $25AUD for the registration and God knows how much they will charge as their service fee.
It is a smart move, taking advantage of the thousands of Pacific Islanders who have been waiting for the PEV from July last year.
But trying to gain money through lies is a sin.
The PEV registration will open soon, but let us wait and hear the confirmation from the horse’s mouth-the Australian Immigration.
