What is a Contributory Aged Parent visa – Subclass 864

A Contributory Aged Parent Visa – Subclass 864 allows you (applicant) to stay in Australia as a permanent resident. You must be at retirement age, onshore and sponsored by your child who is an Australian citizen or an Australian permanent resident or an eligible New Zealand citizen.

This visa is mostly similar to a Subclass 143 visa. However, instead of applying onshore, applicants who apply for a Subclass 143 visa must be offshore.

    By August 2023 I will be qualified to apply aged contributory visa 864. As per your information subclass 864 has to apple onshore. After lodging the application can I still travel in and out of Australia.
    Alternatively can I apply subclass 143 even I am at pension age as I prefer to Apply offshore
    Basically I prefer to apply offshore despite my age is qualified for age parent subclass 864.
    As long as after lodging the application I can travel in and outside Australia is ideal now
