What is Sponsored Parent Visa 870?

The sponsored parent visa 870 is a temporary visa that permits parents to stay in Australia for a period of up to 3 or 5 years. This visa is ideal for parents who wish to visit and live with their children who are Australian citizens or permanent residents. 

Key Features of the 870 Sponsored Parent Visa 

  • Duration 
  1. The 870 sponsored parent visa offers a unique opportunity for parents to live in Australia for an extended period. Initially, the visa grants a stay of up to either 3 or 5 years, based on the applicant’s choice and application.  
  2. There is an option to reapply for further visas, allowing a cumulative stay in Australia of up to 10 years.  

 

  • Sponsorship 
  1. A crucial requirement for the 870 temporary parent visa is obtaining sponsorship from an approved Australian sponsor. 
  2. The sponsor must be a child or an eligible relative of the applicant. The sponsor must be an Australian citizen, permanent resident, or eligible New Zealand citizen.  
  3. The sponsoring relative also assumes specific responsibilities. These include providing financial support to the parent and ensuring that the parent complies with all visa conditions.

  • Flexibility 
  1. One of the standout features of the parent visa subclass 870 is its travel flexibility. Visa holders can travel to and from Australia as many times as they wish while the visa is valid.  
  2. This is particularly advantageous for parents who may need to return to their home country for personal reasons.  

 

  • No Work Rights:
  1. It’s important to note that the 870 sponsored parent visa does not grant work rights in Australia. This means that visa holders are not permitted to engage in any form of employment during their stay.  
  2. The primary intention of this visa is to facilitate family reunification and allow parents to spend quality time with their loved ones in Australia.
