How to increase your chances of getting an adoption visa – subclass 102

Subclass 102 visa, a kind of humane visa, which allows Australian parents to sponsor their adopted children to come and live with them in Australia. Let’s explore with VEM!

What is a Subclass 102 visa?

 

A Subclass 102 visa is also known as an Australian Adoption visa. This is an opportunity to help Australian settlers sponsor their children to Australia to stay as permanent residents.

 

The condition is that the sponsored person must be under 18 years of age. And the sponsor must be a qualified New Zealand citizen, Australian citizen, or permanent resident.

Benefits of holding an Adoption visa – Subclass 102

The benefits of a Subclass 102 visa are quite similar to that of a Subclass 101 visa. Specifically,

 

Residence benefits

    • Stay in Australia permanently.
    • Apply for Australian citizenship, if eligible.
Free entries benefits
    • Travel to and from Australia as many times as you want for 5 years from the date the visa is granted. This is as long as the travel facility on this visa remains valid.
    • You will need to apply for and be granted a Resident Return (RRV) so that you can re-enter Australia as a permanent resident.
Social security benefitsEnroll in Australia’s public healthcare scheme, Medicare.
