Family Visa

There a four subclasses related to partner visas. Subclass 820/801 is for applicants who are inside Australia at time of application. Subclass 309/100 is for applicants located outside Australia at time of application. Other than location at time of application the partner visa processes follow very similar framework and for many applicants involves a two stage process, being provisional partner visa, followed by consideration of permanent partner visa. In some cases where applicants are in a long term relationship the provisional and permanent partner visas can be finalised at the same time.

There are various parent visas and the appropriate option for potential applicants depend on several factors including: location at time of application, age of applicant and balance of family (Australian Children vs non-Australian children).

This visa is for dependent children of Australian permanent residents and citizens. Some more difficult scenarios can involve cases where the applicant is not being sponsored by both parents or guardians, or where the child is aged 18 year and over, and claiming dependency on their Australian parent/s. As with other family visas there is an onshore and offshore time of application option.

The majority of these other family visa subclasses apply in very specific circumstances. Guide on various requirements and potential eligibility can be provided through professional consultation with one of our experienced Registered Migration Agents.
