This document compiles core information on Australian family reunification immigration, covering visa categories for spouses, children, parents, and other family members.<\/p>\n
Project Description<\/p>\n
Australian family reunification immigration aims to allow Australian citizens, permanent residents, or eligible New Zealand citizens to sponsor their immediate or close relatives to come to Australia for family reunification. It is mainly divided into four categories:<\/p>\n
\u2022 Spouse\/Partner Visa: Applicable to married couples or de facto partners. The process typically involves two steps: first, a temporary visa is granted (subclass 820 onshore or subclass 309 offshore), and after two years, eligible applicants can apply for a permanent visa (subclass 801 onshore or subclass 100 offshore). Additionally, the subclass 300 unmarried partner visa allows applicants to marry within nine months of arriving in Australia, after which they can apply for a partner visa.
\u2022 Child visa: Applicable to the sponsor's biological, adopted, or stepchildren. Children are usually under 18 years old; if 18-23 years old, they must be financially dependent on the sponsor. Subclasses 101 (offshore) and 802 (onshore) are the main categories.
Parent visas include queue-based (subclass 103, low cost but extremely long wait) and fee-based (subclass 143, high cost but relatively shorter wait). The 870 temporary parent visa allows parents to reside continuously for 3-5 years (maximum cumulative 10 years), but they cannot work and it does not directly lead to permanent residency.
\u2022 Other Family Category: Applicable to widowed or childless relatives, elderly dependents, or caregivers requiring special care. This category requires applicants to have no other close relatives to rely on, and there are very few spots available (only 500 spots in fiscal year 2024-25).<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
