Family Visa – Contributory & Non-Contributory
Parent visas allow parents of Australian citizens, permanent residents, or eligible New Zealand citizens to migrate to Australia, subject to meeting eligibility and sponsorship requirements. There are two main pathways: Contributory Parent Visas, which generally have faster processing times but higher government charges, and Non-Contributory Parent Visas, which typically involve longer processing periods.
These visas provide a pathway to permanent residency in Australia, allowing eligible parents to live in Australia with their children.
