The Parent visa falls under the family visa category, which comprises various Australian family visas. Notably, on June 2, 2014, the government implemented substantial modifications to the Other Family visas.
The Parent visa is generally categorized into two groups—one applicable for applicants within Australia and the other for those outside Australia.
In Australia:
Contributory Aged Parent Visa (864): For parents residing in Australia, offering a faster processing option with a higher cost for permanent residency.
Contributory Aged Parent Temporary Visa (884): A two-year temporary visa, allowing subsequent application for permanent residency (864).
Outside Australia:
Contributory Parent Migrant Visa (143): A quicker but more expensive permanent visa for parents with children in Australia.
Contributory Parent Temporary Visa (173): A two-year temporary visa for parents outside Australia, enabling later application for permanent residency (143).
This visa offers a temporary (subclass 173) and a permanent (subclass 143) option. It allows parents to join their children in Australia, with the contributory aspect requiring a higher application fee for faster processing.
It prioritizes processing in exchange for a higher fee, providing a pathway for elderly parents to reside with their Australian citizen or permanent resident children.
This non-contributory parent visa is a permanent option for parents to join their Australian citizen or permanent resident children. Processing times are longer, and it does not require the higher fees associated with the contributory options.
Introduced to facilitate family reunification, this temporary visa allows Australian citizens and permanent residents to sponsor their parents. It provides a balance, allowing parents to stay for extended periods in Australia, fostering family connections.
