Guest wanderer Posted December 1, 2009 Chris, Dependants Just wondering, Who is classed as a dependant? Aside from the typical husband/wife and children. Can a parent be a dependant? They can be Chris but some very stringent conditions. I also see you have location as Melbourne and so if you're already in Australia, parents overseas will not neet the dependants requirements but there are also parents visas, eithe a more costlier one[~$34,000] that has about a 2 year wait or the standard one for about 7-10 year wait. What some people do is use a tourist visa that can give them up to two years in Oz with one trip out, and then if the ourist visa does not have a "no further stay" condition attached they can apply for an onshore standard parent visa and get a bridging visa or with a nfs condition they do a second trip out and come back on an ETA and without the nfs condition they apply for the std. parenting visa and get their bridging visa.

Guest wanderer Posted December 1, 2009 Meant to add the relevant DIAC page too Chris. If you start @ Family - Visas & Immigration and put in parent, in Oz or Out or go for All Visa Options - Family - Visas & Immigration you'll find your way into the particular visas available and eligibility/cost etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
