  • Parent-child relationship — Be the biological, adoptive or stepparent of an Australian citizen, permanent resident or eligible New Zealand citizen.
  • Balance of family test — At least half of your children must reside in Australia, or more of your children must live in Australia than any other country.
  • Health and character requirements — Parents must meet the health and character criteria the Department of Home Affairs sets to move forward with their application.
  • Sponsorship — Be sponsored by your eligible child or another approved sponsor who is at least 18 years old.

Given the high volume of applications and limited placement opportunities, the processing time for the Parent visa subclass 103 is lengthy and can take several years to finalise applications. The Parent visa 103 queue calculator can help estimate your application’s progress.
