Australia offers various family visas that allow individuals who are already living in the country to bring their close relatives to join them. These family visas cater to different family ties, including current or future spouses or same-sex partners, children, parents, and remaining relatives. The appropriate visa should be chosen based on the specific family relationship.
If you have a child or spouse living abroad whom you want to join you in Australia, or if you are planning to work or study temporarily in the country, your family may be eligible for a dependent family visa. However, certain conditions must be met to qualify for this visa category.
Apart from immediate family members, such as children and spouses, there are also options for other family members to immigrate to Australia. Brothers, sisters, dependent relatives, and so on, of Australian citizens and permanent residents can initially come to Australia on a temporary visa and later apply for a permanent visa. It’s important to note that family visas in Australia can only be sponsored by:
- i) an Australian citizen,
- ii) a permanent resident of Australia, or
- iii) an Eligible New Zealand citizen.
