Can parents visit students in Australia?


Yes, parents can visit students studying in Australia! There are specific visa options available for parents who wish to visit their children during their studies:

1. Visitor Visa (Subclass 600)


- Purpose: This is the most common visa for parents visiting students. It allows parents to visit Australia for tourism or to visit family.
- Duration: The visa can be granted for 3, 6, or 12 months, depending on the circumstances and the decision of the Department of Home Affairs.
- Multiple Entries: In some cases, multiple-entry visas can be granted, allowing parents to enter and leave Australia multiple times within the visa validity period.

2. Sponsored Family Visitor Visa (Subclass 600)


- Purpose: If required, the student (if eligible) can sponsor their parents for a family-sponsored stream of the Visitor Visa.
- Note: A security bond may be required in some cases.

Key Requirements:


- Parents must demonstrate that they are genuine visitors and intend to return home after their visit.
- Sufficient funds must be shown to cover travel and stay in Australia.
- Health and character requirements must be met.
- Health insurance is recommended during their stay.

Application Process:


- The visa application is submitted online through the Australian Department of Home Affairs website.
- It’s advisable to apply at least a few weeks in advance of the intended travel date.

Important Points:


- The visit visa does not permit parents to work in Australia.
- Overstaying the visa can affect future visa applications.
