Detailed Guidance on Contributory Parent Visas
We believe in empowering our clients by facilitating their understanding of their visa progression. Here’s a brief overview of what the Contributory Parent visas entail:
- Visa 143 (Offshore): This is for parents living outside Australia. Once granted, this visa offers the freedom of staying permanently in Australia with their children.
- Visa 864 (Onshore): This visa allows parents already living in Australia on a temporary visa to stay permanently.
Both visas are similar and require the applicant’s child to be an Australian citizen or permanent resident. They also require a significant contribution to be made towards future health and welfare costs.
How to Prepare for Contributory Parent Visa Application
Preparation is key when it comes to a successful visa application. Below are some steps to follow:
- Check eligibility: Ensure the parent meets the basic requirements such as being sponsored by an eligible child and passing the balance-of-family test.
- Gather essential documents: These include identification documents, relationship evidence, and proof of financial contribution arrangements amongst others.
- Submit the application: Lodge your application onshore or offshore as per your situation.
At Align Law, we can help you navigate these steps effortlessly, ensuring you have the best chance at success.
