FEATURES AND OVERVIEW:

Aged parent visas are permanent residents of Australia, entitled to work, study and stay in Australia indefinitely. They’re able to access Australia’s public health system, Medicare, and can sponsor family members to obtain residency in Australia. After the eligibility requirements are satisfied, aged parent visa holders can obtain citizenship.

ELIGIBILITY:

For this visa, you must:

  • be in Australia, but not in immigration clearance, when you apply for the visa and when the application is finalised
  • have an eligible child who is a settled Australian citizen, Australian permanent resident or eligible New Zealand citizen
  • be old enough to receive the age pension in Australia (currently 65)

Plus, meet other requirements, such as the balance of family test and assurance of support.

BALANCE OF FAMILY TEST

To be an eligible contributory parent, at least half your children must live in Australia, or more children live in Australia than any other country.

Step-children are included in this test, but any children that are no longer legally part of your exclusive custody are not.

For an example of the balance of family test in action, visit the Home Affairs webpage.

SPONSOR

You must be sponsored by an eligible person, which must be an Australian permanent resident, citizen or eligible New Zealand citizen.

Sponsors must be reviewed by government before the application can proceed. Most sponsors for a contributory parent visa are children.

However, if your children are under 18, you can be sponsored by an eligible relative or community organisation

OTHER REQUIREMENTS:

  • You must pass the character and health requirements.
  • You must obey all Australian laws during your residency.
  • You must obtain assurance of support; a paid bond and document that proves you aren’t at risk of relying on government support.
  • You must have paid back any debt owing to the Australian government, if any.
  • You must have not had a visa previously cancelled.
  • The application must be in the best interests of the children living in Australia (if under 18).

COST:

The cost of the aged parent visa is $6,490, payable in two instalments; the first of $4,425 as the application fee, and the final payment of $2,065 upon being granted the application.

Additional application fees are required for any dependents or additional applicants that are on your application, and other fees will also apply. For a more detailed breakdown of costs associated with an 804 aged parent visa, visit our parent visa costs page.

IS THIS VISA RIGHT FOR ME?

The 804 aged parent visa program affords you permanent residency rights if the application is finalised and a visa is granted. It is significantly cheaper than the contributory aged parent visa, but non-contributory programs are typically subject to longer waiting times.
