How to successfully receive a Sponsored parent visa (temporary) – Subclass 870

Unlike other Family visas, a Subclass 870 visa applicant doesn’t have to meet the balance-of-family test (there are more eligible children living in Australia than in any other single country). That’s why this visa is an ideal choice for many migrants.

 

 

What is a Subclass 870 visa?

An Australian Sponsored parent visaSubclass 870 is a temporary visa that allows parents to stay in Australia temporarily with their children who are an Australian citizen or Australian permanent resident or an eligible New Zealand citizen.

The benefits of a Subclass 870 visa

 

Subclass 870
Residence benefits
    • You can visit Australia for up to 3 or 5 years per visa
    • You can re-apply for further Sponsored Parent (Temporary) visas to visit up to a maximum period of 10 years in Australia
    • You cannot stay in Australia longer by extending this visa.
    • You must apply for another visa that will allow you to remain in Australia such as Subclass 143, Subclass 173, Subclass 103, Subclass 864 and Subclass 804 visa.
Free entries benefitsGetting multiple travels between your country and Australia within 5 years.
Social security benefitsHave access to insurance for foreign tourists OVHC.

 

This 870 visa is quite different from Subclass 143 visa and Subclass 173 visa. While both the 143 visa and 173 visa let you join the Australian Medicare program, the Subclass 870 visa doesn’t.

Moreover, if your Subclass 870 visa has a no further stay condition on it, you are not allowed to lodge for a permanent residence while staying in Australia.

On the other hand, the processing time is pretty fast. That’s why this visa is still considered an ideal choice for many families.

    • Must be an Australian citizen, Australian permanent resident or eligible New Zealand citizen.
    • Must be at least 18 years of age.
    • You have not been unlawful or held a bridging visa (other than a bridging visa A, B or C) during the last 4 years.
    • Must pass the income test (your taxable income for the most recent completed taxable income year prior to the date of lodgement of the sponsorship application, must be at least equal to, or greater than AUD83,454).
    • Can only sponsor for the maximum of 2 people in a specified period of time.

A Subclass 870 visa doesn’t allow the applicant to include additional family members. Thus, that family member must apply for a Subclass 870 visa independently.

After becoming a permanent resident, VEM would continue to consult and assist you to sponsor other members of your family with different visas such as a Child visa – Subclass 101 and Adoption visa – Subclass 102.

    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
