Everything you need to know about Parent Visa and how Rozario Enterprises supports your journey.
A Parent Visa allows parents of Australian citizens, permanent residents, or eligible New Zealand citizens to live in Australia. To be eligible, applicants must meet requirements such as sponsorship by an eligible child, the balance of family test, and health and character criteria set by the Department of Home Affairs.
The balance of family test requires that at least half of the applicant’s children live permanently in Australia, or that more children live in Australia than in any other single country. This test is a key eligibility requirement for most parent visa subclasses.
Australia offers several parent visa options, including the Contributory Parent Visa (Subclass 143/173) with faster processing, the Parent Visa (Subclass 103) with lower cost but longer wait times, and the Sponsored Parent (Temporary) Visa (Subclass 870) for temporary stays of up to 10 years.
Parent Visa processing times vary depending on the visa subclass. Contributory parent visas are generally processed faster, while non-contributory visas may take several years due to annual caps and high demand. Applying early and submitting complete documents can help avoid delays.
