A family and relative visa is a type of authorization that permits Australian citizens, permanent residents, and eligible New Zealand citizens to bring their family members to Australia. This visa category typically enables individuals to sponsor their children, siblings, or other close relatives who meet the eligibility criteria.
There are various visa options available under the family migration program, depending on the specific eligibility criteria you meet:
If you wish to adopt a child under the age of 18 and bring them to Australia, you should apply for an adoption visa. The application must be made while you are in Australia on behalf of the child you intend to adopt.
This visa category is exclusively for elderly relatives of Australian citizens, permanent residents, or New Zealand citizens. To qualify, you must be of pensionable age and financially reliant on a family member. Unfortunately, the wait for this visa can be as long as 50 years.
If you have a family member in Australia who requires your assistance or medical care, you can apply for a carer visa. Your sponsor must provide a medical certificate demonstrating their genuine medical need for your care.
This visa is for children seeking to join their parent or legal guardian in Australia. In some cases, you may apply on behalf of your child, but each child must have a separate application if you have multiple children.
A subclass 445 visa allows children of partner visa applicants to accompany their parents to Australia. However, this visa is valid only until a final decision is made on the partner visa application.
If you are not an Australian or New Zealand citizen but have a family member from New Zealand residing in Australia, you may apply for this visa. This visa option is available for partners or children of New Zealand citizens.
This visa is for children whose parents are deceased, unable to care for them, or missing. The orphan relative visa enables these children to join family members already residing in Australia who will provide care for them.
This visa category is typically for siblings and step-siblings. If you have an eligible parent or step-parent in Australia, they can sponsor you for this visa.
