Bring Your Parents to Australia – Parent Visa
Planning to reunite with your parents and have them live with you in Australia? The Parent Visa allows eligible parents of Australian citizens, permanent residents, or eligible New Zealand citizens to stay in Australia permanently, enjoying the benefits of family life and the opportunities Australia has to offer.
