Cazzajj Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 Hi my mum came out on the contribute parent visa 4 years ago and now my dad ( they are divorced) wants to come out. The visas have changed since we looked for my mum too. I don’t think he can afford the contribution one and as he’s 76 i don’t think time is on his side as it took mum 3 years to get out on that one .. is there a cheaper quicker way? Has anyone used this temporary parent visa? Has the non contributery one been scrapped? Thanks for your help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jasmine Sallis Posted July 15, 2019 Share Posted July 15, 2019 The old parent visa that does not require the contribution has not been scrapped but has a 30+ wait period. Temporary sponsored parent visa opened for applications on 1st June 2019 (with sponsorship applications opening 17th April 2019). Wait times difficult to determine. Visa can be applied for 3 or 5 years and renewed once only. That would take him to 86 if did the 5 year one and renewed once? Visa requires health insurance. Hope this general info helps.

LindaH27 Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 Also costs a lot! - five year visa is $10,000 and again on renewal - total $20000 and requires a sponsor who has annual income of $83000 and also must take out (expensive) private Heath insurance 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jasmine Sallis Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 Yes you are right costly indeed. Especially when looking at the ten year option as a total sum. Perhaps then a Tourist Visa with request for longer stay given the circumstances. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LindaH27 Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 (edited) Possibly although the 600 visa would probably only be valid for 3 years and allow only a 12 months stay in 18 months which would mean leaving for 6 months after a year. Also I think I read somewhere that the 600 visa requires a medical if the person is over 70? Edited July 18, 2019 by LindaH27 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
