The Subclass 870 (Temporary Parent) visa is a temporary visa for individuals who are parents of Australian citizens, Australian permanent residents, or eligible New Zealand citizens. This visa allows parents to stay in Australia for up to three or five years and visit their children and grandchildren in Australia.
By working with a migration agent, customers can benefit from a higher success rate in their visa application, as we have a deep understanding of the requirements and eligibility criteria for this visa category. Our team can help customers understand the process and requirements, prepare and lodge the visa application, and provide ongoing support throughout the process.
As the visa applicant, you must:
