Applications to sponsor a parent for a Sponsored Parent (Temporary) visa began on 17 April 2019.
Upon sponsorship approval, a sponsored parent is able to apply for a Sponsored Parent (Temporary) visa.
The visa offers parents with the pathway to be temporarily reunited with their children and grandchildren in Australia. To be eligible for the visa, a parent must be the biological parent, adoptive parent, step-parent or parent in-law of the sponsor, who is an Australian citizen, Australian permanent resident, or eligible New Zealand citizen.
