Parents
If you have a child or children who are Australian citizens, permanent residents or eligible New Zealand citizens than you may be eligible for a permanent residency visa. It is necessary to meet the balance of family test, where equal or more than the number of your children live permanently in Australia.
The contributory parent visas are processed within a few years but have a higher cost associated with them. A parent visa may have a processing time of up to 12 or more years. Applications can be lodged onshore or offshore.
Categories include:

Please contact a MIOz consultant to discuss the criteria for these visa options.
