Family Sponsored Visas

If you have relatives or a partner in Australia you may be eligible to migrate under the family stream of Australia’s migration programme.

The Family Stream is the second largest in Australia’s migration programme. Many Australian Citizens and permanent visa holders see this as the perfect avenue to ensure that their relatives from overseas can join them to live and work in Australia and enjoy all that this beautiful country has to offer.

Unlike the Skilled Stream, family visas are not subject to the ‘points test’ and in most cases age is not a restriction that make up the criteria for a successful application. The family stream covers off visas ranging from Child, to Parent, Perspective Marriage, to Interdependent Partner. Australia also has provisions for family reunion for ‘remaining relatives’ who are the last close family member who does not have Australian Citizenship or a permanent residency visa.

If you have an Australian relative or spouse, or if you are an Australian Citizen or permanent visa holder wanting to know your options of bringing your loved ones over to Australia, either on a temporary or permanent basis, we would suggest that you speak with one of our Registered Migration Agents to show you how Absolute Immigration Services can help develop a Migration Action Plan (MAP) to navigate the visa application process.
