Sanae Kaneda Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 It is good that the visa application charges have not been increased A LOT... however, I am wondering how many times Australian Immigration would change the fee every year! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Visa fees are now indexed to the consumer price index and will continue to increase every year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get your application in now if you are eligible and want to join children in Australia, because the costs of this visa aren't coming down any time soon. Best regards.

So the waiting times will continue to increase. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MAKhan Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 Visa 173 and 143Why you want to get this visa.Let us analyse this visa.When you send your son or daughter for eduction or for the job in Australia. You are almost touching the age of 60 Plus when you are becoming eligible to apply for Visa 173 or 143. The amount for this visa for both mother and father (parents ) is almost $ 100000 Plus assurance of support $14000 Plus many other unforeseen expenditure like medical etc etc. In Asian countries this amount is almost your life long earning and you just spend it to get the visa to the Australian Government which is non- refundable.only assurance of support money can be claimed after 10 years.what you get in return, Medicare PR, you can run a business or do a job. If you are on visa 173 which is temporary , you have to wait till you become the permanent Resident. How many years will it take to become PR. When you become PR than you will do certain courses from your own pocket and it is confirm you will get the job or not. Mind you, your age factor is playing. If you have to get the medicine you have to pay full amount. Centre link will not give you any thing before 10 years of your stay, after becoming PR. The rent of unit is too high and to meet the day to day expenditure it is very hard. It amount to spoiling your life at this age but if you spent the same amount in your country, you can lead a good life. I think in this amount you can come to Australia for 60 Times to see your children. No one tell you the correct things and you are the sufferer. I have come on visa 173 in 2010 and was converted to 143 but still waiting to get my citizenship. I had passed a very tough time. You must understand that your children have sufficient funds to support you for 10 years which is not a joke.Regards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tulip1 Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 I would assume no parent would go expecting the children to support them for 10 years. They would ensure they can support themselves. If they can't then yes the children as sponsors do have to help which everyone knows at the onset. Its certainly a very costly visa and many can't afford it. That's life I guess, you can or you can't. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAKhan Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 I assume that AOS was given and accepted after seeing the statement of account and may be other connected things. The job of the person gone, anything which he has saved spent on rent and other commodities, now the circumstances has changed. Visa holder also spent every thing which he had brought with him. Under these circumstance what they should do living in welfare state, no money to pay rent and to purchase other commodity. Not getting any job and Centrelink says can’t get anything ask AOS provider who is also jobless.Please find the solution to this situation.
