Parent Visas

These visas require the applicant to be sponsored by a settled Australian resident or citizen. There must be more children living in Australia than any other country or a majority of children who are permanent residents or citizens of Australia. This requirement is known as the balance of family test.

The major visa subclass is Contributing Parent (143). This visa is an offshore visa and processing times are now out to around three years. Once the visa is ready to be granted, the sponsor must pay a bond of $10,000 for the primary applicant and $4,000 for the spouse. These bonds are refundable after ten years. Besides, a substantial sum is payable for each applicant as a Contribution fee, and this is non-refundable. The current fee is $43,600 for each applicant.

Another visa is called Parent Visa (103) – This is a much less expensive visa than the Contributing Parent visa. Unfortunately, this visa has very little relevance due to the extremely long processing period. This visa is likely to take more than 35 years to process. Many parents may have passed on before their application is considered.
