All visa fees are here - https://www.border.gov.au/Trav/Visa/Fees

This is where I am getting my estimate of AUD 5750. My agent says it is nearer AUD 110,000. Am I missing something.

• Does anyone know how much an Aged Parent Visa costs? I am getting conflicting advice. Also, on reading about the new Parent Visa coming out in November 2017, does this seem too good to be true - A 5 year Visa for $10, 000.

Dear Alan

We done our Visa application ourselves but now feel we need some professional advice. Can you help us

My wife and I are 63 and 64 respectively. we applied for Visa 173 in June 2016. We plan to retire and emigrate to Australia in November. We are building our house at present. When we arrive in Australia via a tourist Visa is it possible to stay there until our 173 Visa comes through?

Also, When would we be eligible to work?

We have heard we might be able to get a "Bridging Visa" when we arrive that would give us the same rights as our forthcoming 173 Visa and therefore would be able to work.

Can anyone clarify?

Have we choose the right Visa to apply for. we are sponsored by our daughter.

Many thanks for the prompt reply. I done this but the EMail was sent back.

How long does it take to process my Contributory Parent Visa 143?

I have had no communications from the Australian Government

I have applied for either a 143 or a 173 Visa. Is there any way to check on its progress.

Is this out of date (2009)

Is there anyway of chasing up a Parent Visa application made 6 months ago. I have tried the 131881 number but no answer. Does anyone have a contact number?

Can I apply for a Parent Visa on line (173)

I am doing my own Visa Application and came across the statement "Certified Copies" of Birth Certificates etc. What are Certified Copies. I have spent a few pounds getting copies of Marriage Lines. Divorce Papers, Birth Certificates, etc. All I have done so far is photo copy them with a view to send them in. Are these documents acceptable?
