Understanding Child Visas and How Migration Australia Can Help
At Migration Australia, we understand how important family is. If you’re looking to bring your child to Australia to live with you permanently, a Child Visa could be the solution. Navigating the visa process can be complex, but with our expertise, we can guide you every step of the way
What is a Child Visa?
A Child Visa allows a child to live in Australia with their parent(s). These visas are designed for children who are dependent on their parent and meet certain criteria. There are several types of Child Visas, including:
- Subclass 101 (Child Visa): For children outside Australia who wish to join their parent in Australia.
- Subclass 802 (Child Visa): For children already in Australia who need a visa to remain with their parent.
- Subclass 445 (Dependent Child Visa): A temporary visa for children of parents who are in the process of applying for a Partner Visa.
Find out how we can guide you to pick the right visa for you.
Key Requirements for a Child Visa
To be eligible for a Child Visa, the child must:
- Be under 18 years of age, or
- Be between 18 and 25 years of age and studying full-time, or
- Be over 18 and unable to work due to a disability.
The child must also be:
- A biological child, adopted child, or stepchild of an eligible parent.
- Dependent on the sponsoring parent.
- Sponsored by an Australian citizen, permanent resident, or eligible New Zealand citizen.
The Application Process
Applying for a Child Visa involves multiple steps, including preparing the necessary documents, lodging the application, and responding to any requests for further information from the Department of Home Affairs. Commonly required documents include:
- Evidence of the child’s relationship with the sponsoring parent.
- Identity documents, such as a birth certificate.
- Health and character checks.
Each case is unique, and requirements may vary depending on the child’s circumstances and the type of visa being applied for.
