Understanding the Parent Visa Options

Australia offers several types of parent visas to accommodate different needs and timelines:

Subclass 143 – Contributory Parent Visa (Permanent)
This is a permanent visa for parents whose child is an eligible sponsor living in Australia. It requires a higher visa fee but offers quicker processing compared to non-contributory options.

Subclass 173 – Contributory Parent (Temporary) Visa
This is a temporary visa valid for two years and is often used as a first step before applying for Subclass 143.

Subclass 804 – Aged Parent Visa (Onshore)
For parents who are of pension age and already in Australia. This visa can have very long processing times but allows the applicant to stay in Australia on a bridging visa.

Subclass 870 – Sponsored Parent (Temporary) Visa
This allows parents to stay in Australia temporarily for up to 3 or 5 years without permanently migrating. It does not lead directly to permanent residency.
