Aged Parent visa (subclass 804)

This parent visa option is the cheapest option for parents to apply for.

The following criteria must be met to apply:

• All the general parent visa criteria including the balance of family test
• You have reached the age of retirement according to Australian criteria
• You are currently in Australia on a temporary visa

Please note, however, there are limits to the number of approvals that are issued yearly, and the current wait time for approval is estimated at around 15 years.
