Do you want to bring your parents to Australia to live with you permanently? The Contributory Parent Visa 143 Australia is designed for Australian citizens, permanent residents, and eligible New Zealand citizens who want to reunite with their parents. In this guide, we will explain everything you need to know about this visa in simple and easy-to-understand language. Let’s explore the eligibility criteria, age requirements, processing time, fees, and how to apply for this visa.
The Contributory Parent Visa 143 Australia is a permanent visa that allows parents of Australian citizens, permanent residents, or eligible New Zealand citizens to live in Australia. This visa is for parents who want to spend their retirement years with their family in Australia.
The visa is called “contributory” because it requires a higher financial contribution compared to other parent visas. In return, the processing time is much faster, making it a popular choice for families who want to reunite quickly.
