The Australian government has two main visa options for parents wanting to move here:
- Permanent Parent Visa to Australia – This lets your parents live in Oz forever! No need to renew. There are two types:
- Contributory – You pay a lot upfront but it’s processed super fast
- Non-Contributory – Cheaper but can take a long time to get approved
- Temporary Parent Visa to Australia – Allows your parents to live here between 1-5 years. Good if they just want an extended vacation or try it out before going permanent.
NOW FOR THE IMPORTANT STUFF – Are Your Parents Even Eligible?
We’ll make sure they check all the boxes! Here’s what Australia wants to see:
- Prove They Have Enough Money
Your parents need to show they’ve got enough money to support themselves here. The amount depends on the visa, but you may need to promise to help them out financially too.
- Stay Healthy!
Your parents will need to complete a full medical exam. This helps ensure they’re in good overall health to live comfortably in Australia. The goal isn’t to exclude anyone but to make sure they can receive proper care if needed. Even if your parents have certain conditions, many can still qualify as long as the right support is in place. We’ll guide you through any special requirements.
- Prove You’re Family
Yep, you’ll need documents like birth certificates to show you’re legitimately related. The government takes family ties very seriously.
- Be a Good Egg!
Your parents have to prove they’re upstanding citizens with no criminal background and good character. Felons need not apply!
