cherrygn Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 Hi all, maybe a very stupid question. I am an Australian citizen, my parents want to come and visit me for a while (from China). DIBP's website stated that you can apply visitor visa or the family sponsored visitor visa. What's the difference? My parents intent to stay less than 12 months. Could anyone please tell me the difference and which one would be better? i.e. in terms of difficult of applying and visa conditions. Thank you in advance! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kcec826 Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 subclass 600 is the one for you! I got my parents on 600 visa for 12 months. If they intend to stay for more than 3 months they need to go through medicals and also maintain appropriate health cover while in Aus.

But under subclass 600, should I chose tourist or family sponsored? It seems like family sponsored is more complicated? (deposit bonds etc.) But are they have the same visa condition?
