Family Visas Options

Bringing family together is one of the most rewarding parts of the Australian migration journey. Whether you are a parent wishing to join your children, a partner or spouse seeking to start a life together in Australia, or engaged to be married, there is a dedicated visa pathway to help you reunite with your loved ones.

The family visa stream is complex, with different options based on your relationship, age, and whether you are applying from inside or outside Australia. Understanding the distinction between temporary and permanent visas, onshore and offshore applications, and contributory versus non-contributory options is crucial. Our compassionate and expert team is here to provide clear, straightforward advice, guiding you through every requirement to ensure your family’s journey is as smooth and stress-free as possible.

Explore the main family and partner visa options below:

• Partner & Prospective Marriage Visas (subclasses 820/801, 309/100, 300): For those in a genuine relationship with an Australian citizen, permanent resident, or eligible New Zealand citizen. These visas cater to spouses, de facto partners, and fiancés. The application process is typically a two-stage journey, starting with a temporary visa that leads to a permanent one.

• Parent Visas (subclasses 804, 864, 884, 173, 143): For parents of settled Australian citizens, permanent residents, or eligible New Zealand citizens. Options are available for aged parents who can apply onshore. The primary choice is between standard ‘Aged Parent’ visas, which have very long waiting times, and ‘Contributory’ parent visas, which are significantly faster but require a substantial financial contribution.
