This temporary visa allows the aged parent of a settled Australian citizen, Australian permanent resident, or eligible New Zealand citizen to stay temporarily in Australia. This visa enables you to reside in Australia for a maximum of 2 years, engage in work and study (without government support), and apply for a permanent Contributory Aged Parent (subclass 864) visa.
To qualify for this visa, you need to have a qualifying child who is a settled Australian citizen, an Australian permanent resident, or an eligible New Zealand citizen. Additionally, you must meet the age criteria to receive the Australian-aged pension. It is necessary to be in Australia, excluding immigration clearance, both during the application process and when the decision is made. Furthermore, you should not have previously applied for or hold a Sponsored Parent (Temporary) (Subclass 870) visa when applying for this visa.
