How to successfully apply for a Subclass 870 visa – Sponsored Parent (Temporary) visa

Unlike other Family visas, a Subclass 870 visa applicant doesn’t have to meet the balance-of-family test requirement. It may be a good option for parents to be able to live with their children while waiting for the outcome of their permanent resident parent visa. Let’s read on to be fully informed about the Subclass 870 visa.

 

 

What is a Subclass 870 visa?

A Sponsored Parent (Temporary) visa – Subclass 870 is a temporary visa that allows parents of an Australian citizen/ permanent resident or an eligible New Zealand citizen to live in Australia for 3 to 5 years.

 

Notably, parents can reapply for this visa a second time to be able to stay in Australia for up to 10 years.

    Hi, the Subclass 870 Visa sounds hopeful regarding my circumstances. I’m wondering whether, although I’d not be able to work in Australia during my stay under this Visa, would it be possible to earn my income through overseas activities, run online from home in Australia? In other words, a home based online business with overseas customers, or perhaps home based online employment with an overseas employer?
    Kind regards, Mike

    Good morning. My widowed mother is 82 years old. Relatively in good health. We want to apply for an 870 visa for her. Would her age be a concern? Thank you for your help
