Parent Migration – Family Visas for Parents

If you are a parent of an Australian Citizen, Australian Permanent Resident, or an eligible New Zealand Citizen, you may qualify for parent migration. Applicants must meet the balance of family test, meaning at least 50% of their children must be settled in Australia as citizens, permanent residents, or eligible New Zealand citizens.

Parents must also have a sponsor (their child) who meets the income requirements and is able to pay the Assurance of Support. There are onshore and offshore application options, with visa types including Subclass 103, 143, 173, 804, 864, and Contributory Parent Visas for faster processing.

For aged parents, eligibility depends on current visa conditions. If approved, applicants may receive a Bridging Visa to remain in Australia while the parent visa is processed.

The Contributory Parent Visa offers a quicker pathway to permanent residency through staged payments, allowing families to manage costs over time.

Temporary Parent Visa (Subclass 870)

The Temporary Parent Visa 870 allows parents to stay in Australia long-term (up to 3 or 5 years, renewable to a maximum of 10 years) without needing to leave as often as typical tourist visas. Applicants must be sponsored by a child who is an Australian Citizen or Permanent Resident.

Unlike permanent parent visas, the balance of family test does not apply. Sponsors must meet income requirements and be approved before the application.

Child Migration – Family Visas for Children

Children of Australian Citizens, Permanent Residents, or eligible New Zealand citizens may also be eligible for a Child Visa. Applicants must be dependent, under 18, or if over 18 and under 25, must be a full-time student or financially dependent on a parent. Children must be single, and sponsorship by the parent is required prior to lodging the application.

Special exemptions apply for certain dependent children with disabilities or transitional study periods.
