Australian Parent Visa
Australia’s Parent Visas allow eligible Australian citizens, permanent residents, and New Zealand citizens to sponsor their parents to live in Australia, reuniting families and allowing parents to stay close to their loved ones. Parent visas come in various types, including temporary and permanent options, each with different processing times, costs, and eligibility requirements. Common choices include the Contributory Parent Visa (Subclass 143), Non-Contributory Parent Visa (Subclass 103), and the Aged Parent Visa (Subclass 804) for parents who meet age and residency conditions.
The application process for parent visas can be complex and lengthy, often involving long waiting periods. Applicants must meet specific criteria, including the Balance of Family Test, which requires that at least half of the applicant’s children reside permanently in Australia or that more children live in Australia than in any other country.
