103 - Parent Visa

Parents or step-parents of settled Australian citizens, permanent residents, or eligible New Zealand citizens can apply for an Australia parent visa (subclass 103). This visa allows them to migrate permanently to Australia and reunite with their children. However, eligibility depends on factors such as the child’s residence status, the duration of the child’s stay in Australia, the balance of family test, and meeting specific health and character requirements.
