The Australian Parent Visa allows Australian citizens, permanent residents, or eligible New Zealand citizens to sponsor their parents for immigration. Divided into Contributory and Non-Contributory streams, it permits parents to live in Australia temporarily or permanently. Applicants must meet health and financial criteria. The Contributory Parent Visa involves a higher application fee but shorter processing times. This compassionate program supports family reunification, allowing parents to join their children in Australia. It contributes to the cultural richness of the nation, fostering family ties and providing a pathway for parents to share in the lives of their Australian resident or citizen children.
