It’s important to note that the Parent Visas, especially the permanent ones, can have long processing times due to high demand. Some of these visas also have Balance of Family Test requirements, meaning that at least half of the parent’s children must be Australian citizens, permanent residents, or eligible New Zealand citizens, or they must have more children living in Australia than in any other single country.

While these Parent Visas offer a chance for family reunification, they require careful planning due to their associated costs, waiting periods, and eligibility criteria. The choice between temporary and permanent options should be based on the parent’s goals, family circumstances, and financial considerations.

These Parent Visas acknowledge the significance of family unity and offer a means for parents to be with their Australian citizen, permanent resident, or eligible New Zealand citizen children. The range of options allows parents to choose a pathway that best aligns with their needs and circumstances, whether they prioritize a temporary stay or seek permanent residency in Australia.
