Australian reunion immigration-How can new immigrants in Australia bring their parents to live together in Australia

After getting Australian PR, many friends want to bring their parents to Australia. So how to reunite with parents? There are 4 options. See which one is suitable for your parents?

Australian Family Reunion Immigration Program 1: 600 Tourist Visa

First, you can apply for parents600 Tourist Visa, the visa cannot be used for more than 12 months in every 18 months. In this way, they can come to Australia first to see if they can adapt to and like the life here. But it should be noted that although this is a tourist visa, the materials must be prepared in full, otherwise the visa may be rejected.

Australian Family Reunion Immigration Program 2: 870 Visa

If your parents feel good after coming to Australia and think it is too troublesome to travel back and forth between China and Australia frequently, they can consider applying for a 870 visa. This visa can be approved for 3 or 5 years at a time, and can be renewed once more, up to a maximum of 10 years. During the period of holding this visa, parents can stay and enter and leave Australia without restrictions.

Please note that a 870 visa requires an Australian permanent resident or citizen as a guarantor. The guarantor needs to have lived in Australia for 4 years and have an income of more than AUD 84,000, which can be a family income. The visa application fee for parents is: AUD 5,335 for a three-year visa and AUD 10,575 for a five-year visa, payable in two installments. If your parents are considering immigration, remember to submit an immigration application first, and then apply for a 870 visa.

Australian Family Reunion Immigration Program 3: 103 Visa

After your parents have been in Australia for a while, if they start to consider living here long-term, they should submit a 103 visa queuing application as soon as possible. The waiting time may take 30 years. If you want to immigrate in the future, you can switch to a paid visa at any time, and the previous waiting time will be counted, such as switching to a 143 or 864 visa.

Australian Family Reunion Immigration Program 4: 143 Visa

If your parents are sure they want to live and immigrate to Australia, you can help them apply for a paid 143 parent immigration visa. This visa usually takes about 12 years. The waiting time for the previously applied 103 queue visa can be deducted from the waiting time for the paid visa.

Therefore, even if we are not sure whether our parents will come to Australia to retire in the future, we should consider applying for a 103 queue-based visa, because the cost is not high, and we can always retain an opportunity to "jump the queue", and convert it to a paid immigration visa at any time after thinking it over in the future.
