Australian visa assistance and eligibility

This visa pathway may be suitable for children in Australia whose parent is eligible to sponsor them, families needing to regularise a child’s permanent residence pathway and children with custody, consent or dependency issues requiring careful evidence. Whether it is the right option depends on the applicant’s personal circumstances, current visa status, location, family situation, work history and the evidence available at the time of application.

Requirements, evidence and timing

Before lodging, the main issues should be checked together rather than in isolation, because one weak part of an application can affect the overall strategy.

  • The child must meet dependency, age and relationship requirements.
  • The applicant’s location and current visa status should be checked before lodging.
  • Sponsor eligibility, parental consent and custody documents may be required.
  • Health and character requirements can apply.
