Program Details

Visa Subclasses Available for Offshore (outside Aussies) Applicants

Australia (Migrant) Visa (subclass 103): the applicants must be living in Australia.

Contributory Parent (Migrant) Visa (subclass 103): this is the same with subclass 103. The only difference is that it is more expensive and is processed faster.

Contributory Parent (Temporary) Visa (subclass 173): this visa, unlike the subclass 103 and 143 has a validity of 2 years. It is for parents who do not want to stay with their children permanently in Australia.

Eligibility Criteria

Visa Requirements

The following requirements are for all subclasses of the parent migration process:

• The children of the applicant(s) must be Australian citizens or permanent residents. Being an eligible New Zealand citizen living in Australia is also valid.
• The children or partners of the children must function as the sponsor and must be above 18 years of age.
• Age criterion is 65 for men and 60-65 for women.
• The applicants must be in good health. They are also expected to have a good character.
• An applicant is expected to meet the Balance Family Test.
• Must have an Assurance of Support

The Balance Family Test requires that the applicant(s) must have at least half or even more of their children living in Australia than in any other country.

As expected, the children must be Australian citizens, permanent residents or eligible New Zealand citizens.

Assurance of Support (AoS)

• This entails that the child makes a legal commitment pledging financial support to his/her parents so they won't have to rely on social welfare payments.
• AoS must not necessarily be made by the sponsor.
• Any person making the AoS pledge must note that they are responsible for repaying any welfare benefits enjoyed by the visa holder. For any reason, if the Australian government makes any payments to the assured during the period of his/her AoS, the assurer must repay it too.

AoS lasts for 10 years for all Contributing Parent Visa holders and 2 years for other visa types. It begins on the visa grant date if the assured is in Australia. For applicants living outside Australia, AoS begins to count from the date arrival.

Financial Bonds

• Permanent Contributory Parent Visa applicants must pay an AoS bond of AUD 10,000. This bond will be held for the 10-year period that the AoS is valid.
• For adult secondary applicants, it is AUD 4,000.
• For Permanent Parent, Aged Dependent Relative, or Remaining Relative applicants, it is AUD 5,000.
