Parent Visa (Subclass 103)

The Parent Visa (Subclass 103) grants parents of Australian citizens, permanent residents, or eligible New Zealand citizens the opportunity to live in Australia permanently. This visa allows parents to reunite with their children while gaining access to employment, healthcare, and other essential services.

Eligibility Requirements:

✔ Must have a child who is an Australian citizen, permanent resident, or eligible New Zealand citizen.
✔ Must satisfy the Balance of Family Test, meaning at least half of your children live permanently in Australia, or more children reside in Australia than in any other country.
✔ Requires sponsorship from an eligible child or relative in Australia.
✔ Must meet health and character requirements.

???? Processing Time Advisory:
This visa has extensive processing times, often exceeding 30 years. For a faster alternative, the Contributory Parent Visa (Subclass 143) offers quicker processing in exchange for a higher application fee.
