Immigration to Australia
(Sponsored Parent (Temporary) Visa - Subclass 870)
With this visa, you can visit
Australia for up to 3 or 5 years per visa. You can apply for further
visas to visit up to a maximum period in Australia of 10 years but
you cannot work in Australia.
You must have an approved Parent Sponsor before you
can lodge an application for this visa, and you must apply online
for this visa. You must lodge your visa application within 6 months
of the sponsorship approval, or 60 days if you are given Permission
to Apply in Australia.
Permission to Apply in Australia allows you to apply
for this visa in Australia, but not in immigration clearance. It
must be requested by your sponsor in their sponsorship application
form or when we are processing the sponsorship application or prior
to visa application lodgement. If you have Permission to Apply in
Australia, you must lodge your visa application within 60 days of
sponsorship approval. If you do not apply within 60 days, your
approved Parent Sponsor may apply again for Permission to Apply in
Australia, if the sponsorship is valid. To find out how, contact the
Department of Home Affairs
for details.
If we do not approve the Permission to Apply in Australia request,
you will have to lodge your visa application outside Australia
within six months of sponsorship approval, or make an application
for a different kind of visa to remain in Australia. If you do not
have Permission to Apply in Australia, you must apply from outside
Australia within six months of sponsorship approval or make an
application for and be granted a different kind of visa to remain in
Australia.
