About Parent Visas
Australian parent visas allow parents of Australian citizens, permanent residents, or eligible New Zealand citizens to migrate to Australia. These visas help reunite families and enable parents to live with their children in Australia.
There are several parent visa options available, ranging from permanent contributory visas with faster processing times to non-contributory visas with lower costs but longer waiting periods. The right visa for you depends on your age, health, financial situation, and how quickly you need to migrate.
Contributory Parent (Permanent)
Permanent visas with higher fees but faster processing
Contributory Parent (Temporary)
Temporary visas leading to permanent residency
Non-Contributory Parent Visas
Lower cost permanent visas with longer wait times
Sponsored Parent (Temporary)
