Contributory Parent Visa

The Contributory Parent visa (subclass 143) is a permanent visa that allows parents to live in Australia permanently with their children who are Australian citizens, permanent residents, or eligible New Zealand citizens. The subclass 173 visa is a temporary visa that allows parents to live in Australia for up to two years while their permanent subclass 143 visa application is processed. These visas require a significant contribution to the Australian community, including a substantial visa application charge.
