Immigration News - Announcement of New Temporary Visa for Parents of Australians!

Picture

​In a welcome statement, the Australian Government has announced plans to introduce a new 5 year temporary visa for parents of Australian Citizens sometime in 2017.

The specifics of this new visa are yet to be finally determined, however the implementation of any additional visa options for parents of Australians is a step in the right direction. The current visa framework only provides for very limited long term visas for parents of Australians, with applicants having to choose between visas that can take 30+ years to be processed, or pay thousands in Visa Application charges associated to Contributory Parent visas (see here for a summary of Parent visas to Australia).

What Does This Mean Long Term?


What remains to be seen is just how flexible this new visa will be. For instance, for applicants who traditionally find it difficult to obtain short term tourist visas to enter Australia, this new visa may open up a pathway for them to enter Australia, and if above the age of 65, apply to continue their stay through what we have coined the ’Parent Visa Loophole’ saving thousands and avoiding the need to apply for a Contributory Parent visa. 

Similarly, the new visa may be able to be used by applicants who are not yet 65 years of age, to enter the country and wait until their 65th birthday before applying through the Parent Visa Loophole for a permanent stay in the country.

Unfortunately at this stage we are purely speculating. What will be critical are the conditions that can or must be imposed on these new parent visas, especially if the dreaded ‘No Further Stay’ condition will be a mandatory condition, essentially negating the ability to apply for another visa from inside the country.

In saying all this, at least there is now hope of more flexible arrangements as the Australian Government has started to recognize the benefits of allowing ageing migrants to be with their families in Australia!
