It is now possible again to apply for this particular visa if you want to bring your parents to Australia. The visa had been closed earlier this year. However, the government decided to reopen it on 25 September 2014. It is advisable to apply as soon as possible to avoid the possibility that the government will again change its policy.
Who could get this visa
You are able to apply only if your temporary visa enables you to apply for another visa while you are in Australia if you’re in Australia. You must be outside Australia when the visa is decided.
You may find a way to get a Parent visa (subclass 103) if you:
– have a child who is a permanent resident in Australia for at least two years (a period that is shorter could be considered for Australian citizens if there are compelling and compassionate circumstances)
– meet the equilibrium-of-family evaluation
-Satisfy health and character requirements
– have a sponsor.
Your sponsor
You should be sponsored through an Australian citizen, Australian permanent resident or eligible New Zealand citizen. The sponsor must have been living lawfully in Australia for at least two years before you apply for this particular visa. For most applicants, your child or your child’s spouse or de facto partner has to sponsor you.
If your kid is younger than 18 years of age you may be sponsored by:
Your child’s partner, in the event the partner has turned 18 and is a settled Australian citizen, permanent resident or eligible New Zealand citizen
A relative or guardian of your child, in the event 18 has turned and is a settled Australian citizen, permanent resident or eligible New Zealand citizen
