Parent Visa

The Parent Visa allows parents of Australian citizens, permanent residents, or eligible New Zealand citizens to live in Australia permanently. This visa is ideal for families who wish to reunite and enjoy the benefits of living together in Australia. There are different types of parent visas, including contributory and non-contributory options, each with varying costs and processing times.

Applicants must meet the Balance of Family Test, meaning at least half of their children must be Australian residents or more of their children must live in Australia than in any other country. Some Parent Visas also require financial sponsorship from the child or an eligible sponsor.

Once granted, a Parent Visa allows the holder to live, work, and study in Australia indefinitely, access Medicare, and apply for Australian citizenship after meeting residency requirements.

What are the types of Parent Visas available?
There are two main categories:

Contributory Parent Visa (Subclass 143 & 173) – Faster processing but higher costs.
Non-Contributory Parent Visa (Subclass 103) – Lower cost but longer processing times (up to 30 years).
What is the Balance of Family Test?
This test ensures that at least half of your children live in Australia or that more of your children reside in Australia than in any other single country.
How long does it take to process a Parent Visa?
Contributory Parent Visa: Around 4 to 6 years.
Non-Contributory Parent Visa: Can take up to 30 years due to high demand.
Do I need to be sponsored for a Parent Visa?
Yes, a child or an eligible sponsor (such as an Australian citizen, permanent resident, or eligible New Zealand citizen) must sponsor the applicant. Sponsors must provide financial support and meet the required income threshold.

Can I apply for a Parent Visa while in Australia?
Yes, certain Parent Visas, like the Contributory Aged Parent Visa (Subclass 864), allow applicants to apply onshore, provided they meet age and residency requirements.
Can I work in Australia on a Parent Visa?
Yes, once your Parent Visa is granted, you will have full work and study rights in Australia, along with access to Medicare and social benefits.
Can I include my spouse in my Parent Visa application?
Yes, your partner can be included in your visa application, and they will also receive permanent residency if the visa is granted.
Is there an alternative to the long processing time for Parent Visas?
Yes, parents can apply for a Sponsored Parent (Temporary) Visa (Subclass 870), allowing stays of 3 to 5 years with multiple entries, but this visa does not lead to permanent residency.
