884 – Contributory Aged Parent visa (Temporary)

This visa is designed for parents who wish to join their children in Australia and do not currently hold a visa to Australia. It is a temporary visa and the applicant(s) must apply for the permanent Contributory Aged Parent visa (subclass 864) within two years from the time the visa is granted. The Contributory Aged Parent visa is similar to the Aged Parent visa, but with a significantly faster processing time. This visa is ideal for those who do not wish to be added to the lengthy waiting list for Aged Parent visas.

Children with parents

Introduction

To be considered for an Aged Parent visa, the applicant must meet certain requirements, including passing the balance of family test and meeting health and character standards. However, it is important to note that there is currently a significant waiting period for this visa, and eligible candidates may need to wait for several years before being granted a visa.

If this visa is granted the applicant(s) may:

  • work or study in Australia
  • apply for Medicare (health care)
  • reside in Australia for the duration of the visa

VISA APPLICANTS

The requirements for this visa are:

The sponsor must be one of the following:

  • an Australian citizen, or
  • a permanent Australian resident, or
  • an eligible New Zealand citizen

VISA HOLDERS

If the visa is approved, all family members who join the visa holder(s) must comply with Australian laws. As the sponsor, you will be responsible for providing moral support, adequate accommodation, and financial support to your family members for the first two years. The two-year sponsorship period begins from the date of entry to Australia if the application was lodged outside Australia, or from the date the visa was granted if the application was lodged in Australia.
