Bring Your Family to Join You in Australia

What is the Subsequent Entrant stream, and how can it benefit you?

If you’re in Australia on a Skills in Demand (SID) Visa (Subclass 482) and want to bring your family to join you, the Subsequent Entrant stream makes it possible. This visa allows your partner or children, to come to Australia and live with you. Once they’re here, they can work, study, and enjoy the same rights as you as long as you remain in Australia on your Subclass 482 visa.

In simple terms, the Subsequent Entrant stream lets your family reunite with you in Australia.

Knowbal can help by guiding you through the entire process, from assessing eligibility and preparing documents to submitting the application and providing ongoing support.

Benefits of the Subclass 482 Subsequent Entrant Visa

The Subsequent Entrant Visa (Subclass 482) provides several important benefits for your family members.

Live and Work in Australia

Your family members will be able to live and work in Australia for the same length of time that your Subclass 482 visa is valid. This means they can build a life in Australia, just like you. Whether they want to work in their field or explore new job opportunities, they will have the freedom to pursue their career goals.

Study in Australia

Your family can also study in Australia while on the Subclass 482 Subsequent Entrant visa. This gives them the chance to pursue educational opportunities, whether that’s studying for a university degree, a diploma, or even shorter courses. However, it’s important to keep in mind that while they can study, they will not be eligible for government-funded education or financial support. They’ll need to cover the cost of their studies independently.

Travel Freely to and From Australia

One of the great advantages of the Subclass 482 Subsequent Entrant visa is the flexibility it offers in travel. While the visa is valid, your family members can travel in and out of Australia as many times as they need. This flexibility is especially helpful if they need to travel for work, study, or personal reasons.

Pathway to Permanent Residency

If your family members meet the necessary criteria, the Subsequent Entrant Visa could also serve as a first step toward permanent residency in Australia. After living and working in Australia for a certain period, they may become eligible to apply for permanent residency, which provides long-term security and the ability to live in Australia indefinitely.

However, the pathway to permanent residency isn’t straight forward. Eligibility depends on factors such as the specific stream of the Subclass 482 visa, the nominated occupation, and meeting the necessary requirements under the Subclass 186 or other applicable visa categories.

The Subsequent Entrant Visa brings many benefits, allowing your loved ones to share in your new life in Australia. It’s a wonderful opportunity to reunite with your family while providing them with a stable future in Australia.

If you’re ready to bring your loved ones along, Knowbal can assist you with every step of the process.

Eligibility Criteria for the Subclass 482 Subsequent Entrant Visa

Your family members must meet the following criteria to qualify for this visa:

No Age Limit

There’s no age limit for the Subsequent Entrant visa. Whether your family member is a child or an adult, they can apply as long as they meet the other requirements.

Have a Partner or Parent on a Subclass 482 or 457 Visa

Your family member must have a partner or parent who holds a Subclass 482 or 457 visa. If your application is approved, they can be included as a dependent in your visa.

Nomination by the Primary Visa Holder’s Sponsor

You, as the primary visa holder, must nominate your family member for the Subsequent Entrant visa. This means you must agree (or have already agreed) to include them in your nomination.

Health Insurance Requirement

Your family members must have health insurance for the time they are in Australia. This ensures they’re covered for medical care if needed.

Health and Character Requirements

Your family must meet Australia’s health and character standards. This may include a medical check and police clearance.

Hold an Appropriate Visa

Your loved one must have the right visa while applying for the Subsequent Entrant visa. If they’re in Australia, they need to hold a valid visa or a Bridging Visa A, B, or C.

Compliance with Previous Visa Conditions

If your family members have held an Australian visa before, they must have followed all the conditions attached to that visa.

No Debt to the Australian Government

Your family members cannot owe any money to the Australian government. Having outstanding debts could affect their eligibility.

No Previous Visa Refusals or Cancellations

If your family members have had a visa application refused or cancelled in the past, it could affect their chances of being approved for this visa.

Signing the Australian Values Statement

Your family must agree to respect and follow Australian values by signing the Australian Values Statement, which shows their commitment to the country’s way of life.

Making sure your family meets these eligibility requirements is key to a smooth visa application process. Knowbal can help you check if your family qualifies and assist in preparing your application.
