Bridge the Distance: Bringing Your Parents Home to Australia
Dreaming of having your parents closer, sharing life's moments in Australia? Australia's Parent Visa program offers the profound opportunity to reunite families permanently. While highly sought-after and often involving significant wait times or costs, securing a Parent Visa allows your loved ones to gain permanent residency, access vital services like Medicare, and truly become part of your life Down Under.
Sponsor: Must have an eligible Australian citizen/PR/NZ citizen child in Australia.
Balance of Family Test: Required for most permanent options (more children in Australia than anywhere else, or at least half).
Aged Parent: Onshore permanent visas (804, 864) for parents eligible for Australian Age Pension (67+).
Temporary (Subclass 870): No Balance of Family Test, up to 10 years stay, but no PR pathway.
