keithredpath Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 Can I apply for Visa 103 (Which takes 30 years) and then go to Australia and apply for a bridging visa to cover me until my visa comes through? I am 63 and desperate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is possibly best to wait until you are 65 and then consider a subclass 804 Aged Parent visa. Best regards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rvw1 Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 Hi, Are the wait times shorter for the 804 aged parent visa? cheers... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Collett Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 Hi,Are the wait times shorter for the 804 aged parent visa? cheers... A reasonable expectation is that the waiting time for an 804 application will be broadly the same as for a 103. Best regards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
