To be eligible for a parent visa, individuals must have a child who is an Australian citizen, permanent resident, or eligible New Zealand citizen. They must also meet the age and health requirements, pass the character test, and demonstrate that they meet the balance-of-family test.
The parent visa application process can be complex and time-consuming, with long waiting times for some visa types. It is therefore important to seek professional advice and guidance from a registered migration agent or lawyer who can assess an individual’s eligibility, provide guidance on the application process, and help them prepare and submit the necessary documents.
Migration agents can also provide advice on other visa options that may be available, such as visitor visas, temporary visas, or bridging visas, to allow parents to stay in Australia while their permanent visa application is being processed.
Overall, parent visa consultation involves providing individuals with the information, guidance, and support they need to navigate the complex Australian immigration system and reunite with their parents in Australia.
