Hi 

  My parents have been granted (feb 17) Visitor visa (subclass 600).  They are currently outside Australia.

I plan to apply for Contributory Aged Parent (Temporary) (Subclass 884) or Contributory Aged Parent (Residence) (Subclass 864) for them .

 

Visitor Visa has 8503 - NO FURTHER STAY condition which will not allow me to apply for Subclass 884/864 visa when they are onshore and Subclass 884 visa says "You cannot apply for this visa if you already hold another visa that has a ‘No further stay’ condition."

Subclass 864 says "You must be in Australia at the time you apply for this visa. You can only apply if your temporary visa allows you to apply for another visa while you are in Australia. "

 

Does this mean I cannot apply for Subclass 884/864 for my parents at all? Why is that so? They are 69/68 years old and falls under Aged category. Thanks

 

Is my only option under Contributory visa is subclass 173/143 as they can be applied offshore? I think I am looking at 32 Months wait period for 173 if I go that path. Thanks

 

2nd Question - If I apply for subclass 173, will that cancel their Tourist Visa (subclass 600) How can they come to meet us in Australia while they are waiting for their subclass 173 visa outcome? Thanks

 

Thanks

Why not get them e-visitor visas and then apply for 864 visa when they are in Oz (do it within 3 months as e-visitor only valid for 3 mnth stay).  It worked for us.

Hi - we are in a similar position and considering the options. She may not like it and return to the UK but we are still looking at options.

 

My understanding for the 804 you would go on a Bridging Visa when the application is made. What I would like to know is do you go on one if you apply for the 864? The reason for asking is that if you don’t go on a bridging visa you would have to apply for the 884, which would increase the cost of getting the 864 by approx $5k.

 

If they decided to get rid of the 804 and you had already applied I am sure there would be other options to consider, such as the 864 or maybe a new one?

 

Would be interested to see which way to go and maybe we could compare notes via PM.

 

Cheers - Mis

Your mother would be issued with a BVA as soon as she applies for a 864, so she can wait in Oz.  But she would have to apply and pay for a BVB is she wants to travel abroad and return.
