Obtaining a Parent Visa in Australia provides numerous advantages for parents wishing to join their children who are Australian citizens, permanent residents, or eligible New Zealand citizens. These benefits include family reunion, access to permanent residency, work and study opportunities, access to healthcare, social security benefits, cultural integration and flexibility with Temporary Visas. While Australia Parent Visas provide significant benefits, the application process can be challenging due to various factors including cost, length processing times and stringent eligibility times to name a few. Reliable Immigration Service can help you navigate through these challenges to achieve your goal. Parent visas have specific age requirements and several pathways to choose from.
The fastest way to obtain a parent visa is through the Contributory Parent Visa. This option requires a significant financial contribution to cover future medical needs in Australia, along with an assurance of support bond.

- Subclass 173 (Temporary Residence) / Subclass 143 (Permanent Residence): Contributory offshore.
