Rahemath Pasha, a 37-year-old Indian rideshare driver, has been approved for permanent residency in Australia following his courageous response during the Bondi Beach shooting on December 14, 2023.[1] The Australian government granted Pasha a 151-class visa, recognizing his efforts to assist victims during the attack.[1] Pasha, originally from Hyderabad, India, was working as an Uber driver while studying culinary arts on a student visa at the time of the incident.[1] He has since completed his qualifications and is now a certified chef.[1]
The permanent residency approval marks a significant milestone for Pasha, who can now establish a permanent life in Sydney.[1] His wife and three children—two daughters and a son—are currently in the process of applying for visas to join him in Australia, with approval expected to take approximately one year.[1] Pasha has been diagnosed with severe post-traumatic stress disorder stemming from his experience at Bondi.[1] Despite the psychological toll, Pasha has spoken about the universal principles underlying all faiths, stating, "No religion will teach you to harm anyone, you know? Not even Christianity, not even … Islam, not even any religion."[1] Reflecting on the tragedy, he recalled, "I have seen the green grass turning ... red on that day, taking so many innocent lives."[1]
