Parent Visas

These applications are intended for parents of Australian citizens, permanent residents, or eligible New Zealand citizens to migrate to Australia on a permanent basis.

There are two primary types of parent visas: Contributory and Non-Contributory:

  • With these visas, you can move to or stay in Australia as a permanent resident, sponsor eligible family members to come to Australia, and apply for Australian citizenship if eligible.

    The Contributory Parent (subclass 143) visa has substantially shorter processing times and a higher visa application charge than the Parent (subclass 103) visa.

    Application Cost: From AUD $5,125.00

  • With these visas, you can move to or stay in Australia as a permanent resident, sponsor eligible family members to come to Australia, and apply for Australian citizenship if eligible. Unlike the Parent Visa, for these visas, you need to be old enough to receive the age pension in Australia (currently 67 years or more).

    The Contributory Aged Parent (subclass 864) visa has substantially shorter processing times and a higher visa application charge than the Aged Parent (subclass 804) visa.

    Aged Parent visa application cost: AUD $5,125.00

    Contributory Aged Parent visa application cost: AUD $48,495

  • With these visas, you can live in Australia for up to 2 years, work and study in Australia (you will not receive government support), and apply for a permanent visa.

    For the Aged Parent Visa, you need to be old enough to receive the age pension in Australia (currently 67 years or more).

    Contributory Parent (Temporary) visa Cost: AUD $32,430.00
    Contributory Aged Parent (Temporary) visa Cost: AUD $34,025.00

  • This temporary visa allows a parent of an Australian citizen, Australian permanent resident, or eligible New Zealand citizen to visit Australia for up to 3 or 5 years, requiring an approved sponsor for it.

    You are not allowed to work under this visa. And you have the option to apply for further visas to visit for a maximum period in Australia of 10 years.

    Application Cost: 

    Up to 3 years AUD $5,895.00

    Up to 5 years AUD $11,785.00
