What is an Australian Child Visa?

The Australian Child Visa process allows citizens or residents of Australia with no immigration restrictions to bring their kids to the country.

Therefore, the key benchmark for a baby boy or girl to be eligible for this type of visa is to have one of their parents already residing in Australia. The requirements for this type of visa depend mostly on whether you are an orphan, adopted kid, or dependent baby bao or girl.

Child Visa Categories

The classes of Australia Child Visa include:

Permanent Child visa 101 and Permanent Child visa 802

The child visa 101 allows a kid living outside of Australia to live permanently in the country with their parent. While the child visa 802 allows a kid living in Australia to live permanently in the country with their parent. There are two ways to apply for this type of visa, and it includes, the baby boy/girl (which must be under 25) applying for this visa with the parent acting as the sponsor or the parent lodging the application on behalf of the kids. Also, this visa allows a parent to lodge for a stepchild provided the applicant’s age is less than 18 years and the step-parent is separated with the kids' parent but has a legal responsibility to care of the kid. The criteria for eligibility of this also category of this visa include:

  • The applicant should not have a spouse or be married if he/she is lesser than 18 years old.
  • The applicant is dependent on the sponsoring parent or unable to work due to physical disability.

Child Visa 102

This migration category allows an adopted kid who is about to be adopted by an Australian citizen, permanent resident, or an eligible New Zealand citizen to live in the country permanently. Only a kid living overseas is eligible to apply for this type of child visa and should stay out of Australia before applying for the migration process.

Orphan Relative Visa

This migration process allows a child to live permanently in Australia with their relative. The sponsor relative must be the brother, sister, grandparent, aunt, or uncle, who's an Australian citizen, permanent resident, or an eligible New Zealand’s citizen.

  • The applicant's parent is unable to care for the children

Dependent Child Visa 445

This immigration process allows a kid living outside Australia to apply for a temporary dependent visa to Australia, in other to join his/her parents who are holders of temporary visas. This category can be lodged if the kid was not included in their parent’s temporary visa. The criteria for eligibility for this category of this visa include:

  • The parent's sponsor is also sponsoring their baby boy or girl.
