Child Visas

Australian Child Visas has various options for the sponsors to apply for a visa for their children to join their parents in Australia. The parents sponsoring the child must be an Australian Citizen, a Permanent resident in Australia, or an eligible New Zealand Citizen. The Partner of the child-parent might become the sponsor of the child in some cases.

The child eligible for the Australian visas are being;

  • An under 18 years old age child
  • Age is between 18 to 25, and a full-time student, and dependent on parents
  • An 18 years of age or older and not be able to work because of a disability and the child is dependent on parents.

  • Child Visa (Subclass 101) For Offshore
  • Child Visa (Subclass 802) For Onshore.
  • Dependent Child Visa (Subclass 445).
  • Adoption Visa (Subclass 102)

There are two permanent visa options for your child’s migration. The first one is 101 Child visa which is for the child outside Australia, and the other is 802 Child Visa for the child Currently in Australia.

The Overall process and requirements are the same for both of the permanent child visas. The main difference in both of these is only the current location of your child.

Other than that, The dependent child Visa (Subclass 445) allows the child of a parent living temporarily on the 1st stage of partner visa to stay in Australia with their parents.
