If you want to bring your parents to Australia to live with you, you can make it happen without much hassle. Simply follow the required steps. The Australia Parent Migration Visa allows permanent residents or people to sponsor their parents for a PR visa in Australia. However, all of these require that the applicant has a child who is an Australian permanent resident or citizen, or a New Zealand citizen who has obtained visa eligibility. You may also require professional guidance as you navigate through the whole process as it proves to be a difficult immigration process at times.

Contributory Parent Visa – 143
This visa enables parents to remain in Australia if their child is an Australian citizen, Australian permanent resident, or qualified New Zealand citizen. The nature of this visa is permanent when compared to Contributory Parent Visa – 173. If applicants choose to stay in Australia indefinitely, they may apply for Contributory Parent (subclass 143) (within two years of arriving on a 173 visa). Applicants may live in Australia as a permanent resident, sponsor qualified family members to move to Australia, and, if eligible, apply for Australian citizenship. You are only eligible for this visa if you a) hold a Contribute Parent (Temporary) (subclass 173) and b) Follow all of the requirements for a temporary contributory parent visa (subclass 173).

It is a two-year temporary visa that allows the parent of a settled Australian citizen or qualified New Zealand citizen to reside in Australia and apply for a permanent Contributory Visa (Subclass 864). The eligibility criteria are the same across all the subclasses, it is mandatory for the applicant’s sponsor (the child) to be an Australian citizen, Australian permanent resident, or qualified New Zealand citizen. However, in case the child is than 18 years of age, the applicant may be sponsored by the child’s spouse (must be at least 18 years old and a qualified Australian citizen, Australian permanent resident, or New Zealand citizen), a child’s or child’s spouse’s relative or guardian (must be at least 18 years old and a settled Australian citizen, Australian permanent resident, or eligible New Zealand citizen), and a non-profit organisation serving the neighborhood (a written proof establishing the link between the sponsor and applicant must be presented at the time of arrival to Australia).
