Reunite With Your Family Permanently in Australia
The Parent Visa Subclass 103 is a permanent residence visa for parents of Australian citizens, permanent residents, or eligible New Zealand citizens. This non-contributory parent visa allows you to live permanently in Australia with your children, offering an affordable pathway to family reunification. While processing times are long (30-33 years), this provides the most cost-effective permanent parent visa option for families prioritizing affordability. Applications must be lodged offshore, and you’ll receive full permanent residency rights, including work authorization, Medicare access, and a pathway to citizenship.
