Are you a parent of an Australian citizen or permanent resident longing to reunite with your family in Australia? If you don’t meet the Balance of Family test for other parent visa pathways or are waiting on the lengthy processing of a permanent contributory parent visa, the Subclass 870 Sponsored Parent (Temporary) visa could be a perfect option for you!
The Subclass 870 visa allows parents to stay in Australia for up to five years, providing families with the opportunity to live together, share in each other’s lives, and create cherished memories. While this visa doesn’t provide work rights, it offers parents the chance to be there for important family moments, from supporting their children to watching their grandchildren grow.
Why Choose the Subclass 870 Visa?
The Subclass 870 visa is particularly beneficial for parents who:
- Don’t meet the Balance of Family test required for permanent parent visas, such as the Subclass 143 or 103 Parent visas.
- Have already applied for a permanent Contributory Parent visa (Subclass 143) and want to bridge the gap during the extended processing period.
- Wish to reunite with their children and grandchildren in Australia to provide support and create a close family unit.
This visa offers flexibility and peace of mind for families separated by distance, ensuring that parents can be part of their loved ones’ lives while staying temporarily in Australia.
Benefits of Having Parents in Australia
The presence of parents can have an immeasurable positive impact on families. Whether it’s lending a helping hand with childcare, being a guiding force during important family milestones, or simply enjoying quality time together, having parents nearby strengthens the family bond.
For families with young children, parents on the Subclass 870 visa can play a vital role in providing emotional and practical support, easing the pressures of day-to-day life for working parents. Additionally, the visa creates opportunities for grandparents to connect with their grandchildren in meaningful ways, building relationships that can last a lifetime.
