Parent Visa Options in Australia

There are multiple visa options for parents who wish to join their children in Australia. Some visas offer temporary stays, while others provide a pathway to permanent residency. The right visa for your parents will depend on your circumstances, financial situation, and long-term goals.

Temporary Parent Visa Options

Temporary parent visas allow parents to stay in Australia for a limited period. These visas are ideal for families who want to have their parents nearby without committing to permanent residency immediately. Some temporary visas also offer pathways to permanent visas if eligibility requirements are met.


Sponsored Parent (Temporary) Visa (Subclass 870)

  • This visa allows parents to visit Australia for up to 3 or 5 years.
  • There is no balance-of-family test, making it a more accessible option for many families.
  • It does not lead to permanent residency and must be renewed if extended stays are required.

 


Contributory Parent (Temporary) Visa (Subclass 173)

  • This visa lets parents stay in Australia for up to 2 years.
  • It provides a pathway to the permanent Contributory Parent visa (Subclass 143).
  • It requires a higher financial contribution but has a shorter processing time.


Contributory Aged Parent (Temporary) Visa (Subclass 884)

  • Similar to Subclass 173, this visa applies to aged parents who meet the age requirement (minimum 67 years) for an Australian age pension.
  • It allows temporary residence in Australia for up to 2 years.
  • It provides a pathway to a permanent Contributory Aged Parent visa (Subclass 864).

Permanent Parent Visa Options

Permanent parent visas grant parents the right to live in Australia indefinitely. These visas often have longer processing times and may require a balance-of-family test, proving that at least half of the applicant’s children live in Australia as citizens or permanent residents.


Contributory Parent Visa (Subclass 143)

  • A permanent visa that allows parents to live in Australia indefinitely.
  • Requires a higher financial contribution, leading to faster processing times compared to other parent visas.
  • Parents must first apply for the Contributory Parent (Temporary) visa (Subclass 173) before transitioning to this permanent visa.


Contributory Aged Parent Visa (Subclass 864)

  • Similar to the Subclass 143 visa, but for aged parents who qualify for an Australian age pension.
  • Provides permanent residency, with access to healthcare and social benefits.
  • Requires a substantial financial contribution to support processing.


Parent Visa (Subclass 103)

  • A standard permanent parent visa option for parents of Australian citizens or permanent residents.
  • Requires meeting the balance-of-family test.
  • Has significantly longer processing times, often spanning over a decade.


Aged Parent Visa (Subclass 804)

  • Similar to Subclass 103, but available to aged parents who meet the Australian age pension eligibility.
  • Allows parents to live in Australia permanently.
  • Has an extensive waiting period, making it less suitable for those seeking a quick resolution.

With so many options available, choosing the right parents visa is important.
