      Offer Letter Timeline

      The assessment period typically takes several weeks, depending on the visa category and the completeness of the submitted documents.

      During this time, additional documents or clarifications may be requested by the immigration authorities to support your application.

      Once all required documents are compiled, we assist you in preparing and finalising your Parent Visa application, including sponsorship documents, financial evidence, health and character requirements, and other mandatory forms.

      After the application is complete, we lodge your Parent Visa application with the Department of Home Affairs, Australia. We strongly recommend applying well in advance, as parent visas often involve longer processing timelines.

      The Parent Visa is designed for parents of Australian citizens, permanent residents, or eligible New Zealand citizens who wish to reunite with their family and live in Australia. This visa offers a pathway for parents to join their children and enjoy long-term residency in a supportive, family-oriented environment.

We ensure a seamless application experience for families looking to reconnect and settle together in Australia.

      Eligibility Requirements for a Parent Visa

      To qualify for a Parent Visa, applicants must meet key requirements set by the Department of Home Affairs:

      • Sponsorship by an Eligible Child
        The applicant must be sponsored by their child, who must be an eligible Australian citizen, permanent resident, or eligible New Zealand citizen living in Australia.

      • Balance of Family Test
        At least half of the applicant’s children must be living permanently in Australia, or more children must live in Australia than in any other single country.

      • Visa Application
        The parent submits an application under the relevant visa category—either contributory (faster processing, higher cost) or non-contributory (longer processing time, lower cost).

      Why Choose a Parent Visa?

      This visa is ideal for parents who want to reunite with their children, enjoy family life in Australia, and eventually access permanent residency benefits such as Medicare and a pathway to citizenship.

      Parent Visa Program – A Pathway to Reunite with Family in Australia

      The parent visa program provides an opportunity for parents of Australian citizens, permanent residents, or eligible New Zealand citizens to live in Australia with their children. This visa stream supports both temporary and permanent stay, depending on the visa subclass and financial capacity of the applicant.

      General Requirements for Parent Visas

      While each subclass has its own rules, there are some common requirements across most parent visa options:

      • Sponsorship by an Eligible Child
        Applicants must be sponsored by a child who is an Australian citizen, permanent resident, or eligible New Zealand citizen and is settled in Australia.

      • Balance of Family Test
        To be eligible, at least half of the applicant’s children must live permanently in Australia, or more children must reside in Australia than in any other single country.

      • Health and Character Requirements
        All applicants and their dependents must meet Australia’s health and character requirements, which typically involve medical checks and police clearance certificates.

      • Assurance of Support
        Some visa subclasses require an assurance of support to show that the applicant will not rely on public welfare.

      Financial Commitment and Processing Times

      Parent visas can involve significant costs and long processing times:

      • Contributory visas are more expensive but are generally processed faster.

      • Non-contributory visas may be more affordable but can take many years to be granted due to annual caps.

      Types of Parent Visas

      • Contributory Parent Visa (Subclass 143/173)
        Offers permanent residency with quicker processing times in exchange for a higher application fee.

      • Parent Visa (Subclass 103)
        A lower-cost permanent visa with longer wait times.

      • Sponsored Parent (Temporary) Visa (Subclass 870)

      Frequently Asked Questions

      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.

      Rozario Enterprises provides end-to-end assistance for the Parent Visa application process, including eligibility assessment, sponsorship guidance, document preparation, and visa lodgement. Our experienced consultants help families navigate complex requirements and achieve smooth reunification in Australia.
