Book Consultation
Australia offers a range of visa options for parents of settled Australian citizens, Australian permanent residents and eligible New Zealand citizens to reunite with their children in Australia. This includes both temporary and permanent visa options.
A limited number of permanent Parent visa places are available each Migration Program year. Once we reach this number, we do not grant any more visas that program year. Demand for these visas is greater than the places available each year. As a result, processing times for Parent visa applications can be lengthy.
