Australia Parents Visa

Who Does Not Want to Stay with The Parents And Lead a Complete Family?

The government of Australia supports your dream and allows you to invite your parents to the land of Australia with the help of the Australia Parent Visa. The visa enables the parents of an Australian citizen or an Australian PR to migrate and reside on the Australian land provided the parents match the eligibility criteria. Australia provides both temporary as well as permanent options to enable the parents to migrate and reside in the country.

Different Categories of Australia Parent Migration Visa

The Australia Parent Visa can be majorly divided into two categories which can further be subdivided into different classes based on the age of the parent and the type of residence (temporary or permanent). The two main categories are

• Contributory
• non-contributory

Contributory Parent Visa (Subclass 143 and 173)

• The Contributory Parent Visa (subclass 143 and 173) permits the parents of an Australian citizen, Australian PR, or an eligible New Zealand citizen to migrate and live in Australian boundaries
• Out of the two subclasses mentioned above, subclass 173 is a temporary visa that permits the parent to reside in Australia for two years. Also, there is no possibility to extend or renew the visa
• The prominent option for the parents who want to continue their dwelling in Australia after two years is to apply for the visa subclass 143. The visa can be applied within the two years’ time duration allotted by the visa subclass 173 and allows prolonged abode on the Australian land

Contributory Parent Visa Sponsorship

The Contributory Parent Visa is ought to be sponsored by the child (the Australian citizen or Australian PR) residing in Australia. The age of the child must be above 18 years to claim sponsorship. There are other options too if the age of the child is below 18 years. These include

• The spouse of the child (if he or she meets the eligibility criteria)
• The relative or caretaker of the child or the spouse of the child (if it matches the eligibility criteria).
