Explore Different Visa Options For Your Parent
Parents of eligible sponsors have several visa pathways that can lead to permanent residency in Australia. If permanent Contributory or Non-Contributory Parent visas are not suitable due to financial considerations or long processing times, the Visitor Visa (Temporary) offers a flexible and affordable alternative. This visa lets parents visit loved ones in Australia, with the possibility of longer stays—up to 12 months within an 18-month period. Another option is the Sponsored Parent (Temporary) Visa, which allows eligible parents to live in Australia for 3 or 5 years. With up to 15,000 Sponsored Parent (Temporary) Visas granted each year, these options help more families spend meaningful time together in Australia.
