Frequently asked questions

What is the balance-of-test?

It means the parents must have at least half of their children (eligible children) who are an Australian citizen or an Australian permanent resident or an eligible New Zealand citizen, or more eligible children living in Australia than the children living in any other single country.

I have 3 kids. One is in Australia, one is in Vietnam and the other one is living in Japan. So did I meet the balance-of-test?

Unfortunately no. Because the number of children living outside Australia is more than the number of children living in Australia.

However, it’s still possible for you to apply for a Partner visa as a Subclass 870 may be suitable for your situation.

Contact VEM directly for more detailed advice.

Can I visit Australia when my Parents visa is being processed?

Yes. You can apply for a visitor visa to visit Australia while your application is being processed. However, please keep in mind that if you lodge your parent visa application offshore, you must also be offshore when your parent visa is granted.

What are the benefits of using an agency with MARA (Migration Agents Registration Authority) when applying for Parents visas?

The Department of Home Affair strongly recommends that applicants should use an agent who is registered with MARA. An agent who registers with MARA, must have knowledge of Australian migration laws and comply with the code of conduct when providing services to clients.

If I’m currently holding a Permanent Resident card, can I sponsor my parents to Australia?

Despite being an Australian citizen, Australian permanent resident or eligible New Zealand citizen, you must meet other requirements in order to sponsor your parents.
