Hi everyone, We want to apply for my Mum who is 64 years old (she was born in August 1954) to the Visa 864 (contributory aged parent visa) so my questions are: Do we need to wait until she is turning 66 which is the age pension or Can we apply for the visa now? Because what I understand is the queue for the visa is 7 years so we don't want to waste time. If we have to wait 2 more years until she eligible to apply for 864 visa. Can we ask for one year tourism visa before we apply for 864 visa or it doesn't look good? Thank you in advance for your help Layla

Hi everyone, I was reading all your comments and all of them very useful.I just started looking at my Mum's visa and my question is: Can she travel with bridging visa and if she can for how long she can be out of Oz? Won't she has Medicare during the bridging visa at all?
