Get Your Family Visa with Help from Experienced Agents
These visas allow parents to permanently migrate to Australia to join their children who are living in Australia. The visa subclass will specify whether the applicant should be overseas or in Australia at the time of application. Requirements include having more than half of their children permanently settled in Australia, and the sponsoring child may be required to provide an Assurance of Support. The applicant’s age will also determine which visa they are most suited for. Swift Migration Australia’s migration agents are equipped to help you build the strongest case for the most relevant parent visa. Please contact us to learn more.
The new temporary Parent visa will be introduced in late 2017, which will allow Australian citizens, Australian permanent residents and eligible New Zealand Citizens to sponsor their parents (biological or adoptive) and step-parents to stay in Australia for up to five years at a time.
A step-parent can only apply if they are still in a married/de facto relationship with a biological parent of the sponsoring Australian child. Only one set of parents per household (that is maximum two people) can be sponsored for this visa at a time.
Unlike the other Parent visas, the Balance of Family test does not apply to this new visa. To be granted a temporary sponsored parent visa, a person must satisfy a number of requirements, including:
There will be no financial bond for this visa. Once granted, the visa will be valid for either three or five years. Applicants can apply for, and be granted, this visa more than once but the maximum stay is 10 years in total.
There are a number of child visas available to families looking to gain temporary or permanent residency for their children:
Whether the child is inside or outside Australia will determine which visa is suitable for them. Full time students up to the age of 25 are also eligible for one of these visas, as well as dependents 18 or older who are unable to work due to a disability.
For an overseas child whose parents are deceased, permanently incapacitated or if the parents’ whereabouts are unknown.
Children located in Australia at the time of application are required to apply for the subclass 837 visa, while children outside Australia at the same time are required to apply for the subclass 117 visa. The child is required to be sponsored by a relative (brother, sister, grandparent, aunt, uncle or step-equivalent older than the age of 18 who currently holds New Zealand citizenship or Australian citizenship or permanent residency) and must be unpartnered.
For an overseas child whose parents hold a temporary Partner Visa and are working towards permanent residency.
The child must be sponsored by the same person who sponsored their parent. They must either be younger than 18 years, incapacitated for work due to the total or partial loss of bodily or mental functions, or wholly financially dependent on the parent who holds the temporary Partner visa.
For an overseas child who has been or is about to be adopted by an Australian citizen, Australian permanent or an eligible New Zealand citizen. Please note that if the child is under the age of 18 at the time of application but will turn 18 before their application is decided that they will not be eligible for the subclass 102 visa.
