You need to be onshore in Australia in order to submit an application for a Contributory Aged Parent (subclass 864) Visa, and you will generally need to be in Australia in order for a decision to be made on the visa.
To meet the requirements for the Contributory Aged Parent (subclass 864) Visa, you must be considered an “Aged” parent, which is defined as being old enough to receive the age pension in Australia. This fluctuates, but is currently between 65 to 67 years, depending on the year you were born
Additional criteria will need to be satisfied by you and/or your sponsor, such as assessments as to your health and character. Supporting evidence, such as police certificates, will be required in addition to the above.
The All Access Migration team have experience and are able to assist with all aspects of the Contributory Aged Parent (subclass 864) Visa application process, including providing comprehensive advice regarding the requirements of the visa, as well as the requirements regarding supporting evidence for the application.
We can also prepare and lodge both the visa application and sponsorship application, as well as supporting evidence on your behalf, with the Department, and provide ongoing ancillary advice regarding the same. As part of this process, our office will prepare detailed submissions to the Department of Home Affairs outlining you and your sponsor’s ability to meet each requirement of the visa, as well as outlining the evidence provided.
