Parent, Child & Other Family Visas
Subclasses 103, 143, 804, 864, 870, 101, 802, and others
Australia’s family visas allow Australian citizens, permanent residents, and eligible New Zealand citizens to sponsor close family members to live in Australia. These visas are designed to reunite families, whether permanently or temporarily. However, applications are highly regulated, often quota-based, and require thorough documentation to satisfy Department of Home Affairs requirements.
As a professional visa consultancy, we provide honest, accurate, and compliant guidance to ensure your family visa application is properly prepared and lodged.
