Australian visa assistance and eligibility
This visa pathway may be suitable for aged parents of settled Australian citizens, permanent residents or eligible New Zealand citizens, families comparing temporary and permanent contributory aged parent options and applicants already in Australia who need location and bridging visa advice. 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.
- Applicants usually need to satisfy the balance of family test.
- Parent visas are capped and queued, including contributory aged parent visas.
- Location requirements and bridging visa consequences should be checked before applying.
- Assurance of Support, health, character and significant government charges may apply.
