VikramM Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 Hi! With SC143 as its stated this may be filed from onshore, if i go for this one while my parents are currently here on visitor visa ( with no conditions on their visa). Can they still travel back to India normally while their current visitor visa expires. Or would they be put on a bridging visa just because they applied SC143 onshore?

Bridgeman Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 As the 143 is an offshore visa, they would not get a bridging visa to allow them to stay in Australia. They would have to leave when their visitor visa expired Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VikramM Posted July 17, 2020 Author Share Posted July 17, 2020 Thanks @Bridgeman basically the question is to have clarity on "filing the visa " can my parents file this SC143 VISA while they are in australia or they will have to be offshore to file this visa.

Arti Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 I think there is an aged contributory visa option if your parents are over a certain age in which case they can ask for a bridging visa. With the very long waiting times I'd recommend you to research all options! You can always travel back on a bridging visa but just have a more restricted period of stay outside AU - as i said you'll need to do more research.

Yes, you can apply for a 143 visa while in Australia, but there are (normally) no bridging rights for this visa class. So your parents would have to leave when their visitor visas expires. Alternatively, if either of your parents are 66 or over, they could apply for an 864 visa and stay in Australia on a bridging visas for the next 10+ years.

The OP’s family are from India. So, no reciprocal agreement on health. So, reliant on private health only. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VikramM Posted July 18, 2020 Author Share Posted July 18, 2020 @ Marisawright Its like not one size fits all kind of situation have read quite a bit about each category of parents visa realised more of tailored on the scale of cost involved n benefits. Obviously the cost involved in SC143 is huge but again it comes down to do u want medicare coverage or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VikramM Posted July 18, 2020 Author Share Posted July 18, 2020 Ye thats not the case. i actually did not want a bridging visa n wanted clarity that Sc143 would certainly not issue a bridging visa as they would like to file the application therafter stay in india for most of the time during the app processing period.
