Parent Visa to Australia? Start With the Balance of Family Test

Thinking about bringing your parents to Australia permanently?

Before looking at costs or timelines, there is one thing to check first: the Balance of Family test. It looks at where all of your parents’ children are settled, not just you.

Generally, a permanent parent visa can’t be granted unless this test is met. That’s why it’s worth understanding your family’s situation early, before you commit time and money.

Every case is different, and outcomes depend on your individual circumstances and current migration law.

Visa refused in Australia? Don’t wait to act.

Your refusal letter has a deadline to apply for a review with the Administrative Review Tribunal (ART). For many people it’s 21 days, and for some it’s even shorter. Once it passes, the Tribunal generally can’t accept your application.

A refusal can also affect your bridging visa, so it’s important to know exactly how long you can stay.

Bring your letter and book a consultation with our Registered MARA Agent today.

Want to bring your parents to Australia? Read this first.

Parent visas can take a long time, and some options take much longer than others:

Contributory parent visas cost more, but are usually processed faster
Non-contributory parent visas cost less, but the waiting time can be very long

The right option depends on your budget, your parents’ age and health, and your family plans. Fees and wait times change often, so always check the latest on the Department of Home Affairs website.

Financial, like joint bank accounts and shared bills
Household, like living together and sharing chores

Commitment, like future plans and time spent together
