Contributory Parent Visa (SC 173/143)

A faster pathway to permanent residency, requiring higher visa charges. The 173 is temporary, transitioning to the 143 for permanent residency.

Contributory Aged Parent Visa (SC 884/864)

For retirement-age parents applying onshore. The 884 is temporary and leads to the 864 for permanent residency, with higher costs and faster processing.

Parent Visa Requirements

While each type of Parent visa has its own specific criteria, some general eligibility requirements apply to all applicants. Expert Migration Lawyer will offer personalized advice based on your unique situation.

Key requirements include:

Being the parent of an Australian citizen, permanent resident, or eligible New Zealand citizen.
Having your child act as an approved parent sponsor.
Repaying any outstanding debt to the Australian government.
Meeting health and character requirements.
Satisfying the balance-of-family test (except for the Subclass 870 visa), which requires having more children living in Australia than any other country, or at least half of your children being eligible sponsors.

Our expertise ensures you receive the support and guidance needed for a successful application.

Parent Visa Processing Times

Processing times for Parent visas vary depending on whether you apply for a contributory or non-contributory visa. Factors such as the complexity of your case, the completeness of your application, and the Department’s current caseload can also impact the timeline.

At Expert Migration Lawyer, we aim to submit thorough, high-quality applications to minimize potential delays. During our consultation, we provide up-to-date information on processing times and use our expertise to offer a professional estimate tailored to your specific circumstances.
