We have submitted an application for 804; does anyone know averaging processing times for bridging visa? Applied onshore (originally from the UK). We’re not sure whether they will have to leave when the 3 months on tourist visa is up & re-enter if we haven’t heard back re bridging visa. Any advice appreciated
-
Hi, as you have personal experience with 864, do you know if it covers aged care down the track (once granted of course)? We will be getting private health but wondered what other costs we need to think of during the application process and once approved. Appreciate any advice, thanks
-
Thank you Linda (I had posted about 804 in previous post but after much research we have decided this is too risky & there seem to be a lot of hidden costs). She is not concerned about going back to Scotland as all her immediate family are here (just wondered whether she could go back to live while it’s being processed but she’d rather be here)
-
Thank you it seems wait times vary from 3 to 6 year’s which is fine (all her children & grandkids are here)

864 visa Hi folks, does anyone know if we apply for an 864 visa onshore whether my mil will have to stay in Oz while it’s being assessed? Or is she able to travel back to Scotland after we lodge the application? Also, at what point is the contribution payable? Only once the visa is granted? TIA
-
Thanks Linda! I’ve been reading & researching for hours and there’s so much information (some a bit contradictory). We approached an agent a few years ago so might reach out to them again to clarify these things

Hi folks, Seeking some advice on 804 / 864 visa - my mother in law lives in Scotland and all her children (3) and grandchildren live in Oz (most are citizens. 1. If we apply for 804, should we do this as soon as she arrives on her 3 month tourist visa? 2. We're aware the wait times are lengthy (and she may never get it) and the implications of healthcare - when is the AOS due to be paid, only once the visa is granted? 3. If we apply for the 864 - can we apply for this onshore when she arrives on her tourist visa and is she able to go back to live in Scotland while it's being processed? 4. Is the fee (AUD47,455) only payable once the second part of the visa is approved? 5. Is there a further AOS required for this visa or is that not applicable due to the contribution being paid? Really apprecaite any advice on the above from anyone going through the process. TIA!

Didn't know that - thank you for sharing. Looks like we only have two options really - 804 / 864

Thank you Marisa, really appreciate your feedback. Much of what you've shared we've been considering and also understand the massive financial impact on ourselves as a young family and on her leaving the UK (which she feels she's happy to do). Such a difficult decision as the contributory visa definitely seems a better option in the long run, just very costly so much to think about
-
Thank you for sharing your feedback, really appreciate it! We intend to arrange private health care for her but weren't sure what the reciprocal care actually covers (if anything) - very difficult to find info online about it.
-
e understand that we will be responsible for her financially and wait times are lengthy. With a young child we don't have the funds available for the contributory. Have you gone through the process of a parent visa?
-
Thank you for sharing that - she is 67. We would like to bring hr over & apply onshore so it sounds like we'll have to apply for 804. Do you know if she will be entitled to reciprocal healthcare while her application is being processed?
-
Hi, we're looking into visa options for my MIL (lives in Scotland) - if we apply for an onshore visa (115/ 804) will she have reciprocal healthcare while the visa application is being processed? (if you know) Thanks!

My husband & I would like to start the process to get his mom to Oz (she's widowed), currently living in Scotland. Financially its up to us; the contributory visa is not an option (she has all three her children here, 2 are Oz Citizens, and 5 grandchildren). She is 67 (retired) Reading through the immigration website's visa options it seems we could either apply for the Remaining Relative (115) or the Aged Parent Visa (804) - with a $4k application fee we want to make sure we apply for the right one. Any advice or feedback from anyone going through the process would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance
