If the balance of family test can't be satisfied your parents are unlikely to have a long term visa pathway available - unless they have sufficient personal wealth as to look at a subclass 405 visa.

 

Alternatively, possibly a business skills visa if they are business owners or successful investors.

 

How old are your parents?

 

Thanks for the replies, my dad is 70 and my mum is 65, and she is still working part time in the UK. May look into just the visitor visa for when she does finally retire. They wouldn't be able to get a business but would have money from the house. Some things to think about!!!

 

Thanks again for the replies, very much appreciated xx

Hi to all those parents trying to get out to be with family xx

I am one of the "children" and we are heading back out to Perth this year once the house is sold. I am just enquiring on my parents behalf what visa they might be able to obtain to get out there. My mum has enquired before but because more of her children (I have 4 other brothers/sisters) reside in the UK she wouldn't be able to get a parents visa-if that makes sense?!?

Thanks to anyone taking the time to reply, Jess xx

Hi Iron Chef,

First time on here, we're looking at going back to WA this year and wondered if it was worth taking our family car and hubby's work van?

Car is a Mitsubushi Shogun Elegance, 2005, about 80,000 miles on the clock, worth about £9,000 here, $20,000-$30,000 on car sales

Van is a Vauxhall Vivaro Sportiv, 2008, about 60,000 miles on clock, worth about £8,000 here.

Both in good condition, be great if you could give us as A!!! HA HA

Thanks a lot

Jess
