804 – Aged Parent visa (Permanent)

The Aged Parent visa is a permanent visa option for parents who have one or more children in Australia who are eligible to sponsor them. To be eligible for this visa, you must meet the balance-of-family test, which requires that at least half of your children live permanently in Australia or more of your children live permanently in Australia than in any other country. Additionally, you must have an eligible sponsor in Australia who will provide you with support during your stay. Finally, you must meet certain health, character, and age requirements, including being at least 65 years old (with some exceptions). It’s important to note that there is no temporary visa option available for this visa.
