Australia is one of the most beautiful countries in the world. It has some of the most breathtaking scenery, great beaches and warm, friendly people. The country plays host to people from all parts of the world making Australian cities a melting pot of diverse cultures. This vast country that is a continent on its own is the sixth largest country in the world. With great weather, many people seek the opportunity to live and work in the country. Aspiring migrants may use the services of an Australia partner Visa Agent to direct them through the process of migrating to the country. For a person with a family member in the country, there are various family migration Visa options available depending on the relationship with the Australian citizen. The main Family Visa categories include;
- Child Visa
- Parent Visa
- Other Family Visa
- The partner Visa is applicable if you are married to an Australian citizen or are engaged to be married on arrival in Australia. The visa is also applicable if you are in an interdependent relationship with an Australian citizen. The interdependent relationship also includes a couple in a same-sex marriage. This visa further recognizes partners who are not legally married but have lived together in a defacto relationship for at least one year. The visa process is complicated and requires the services of migration agents Sydney to make it flow without any legal hitches.
- To obtain the visa, the Australian citizen must act as a sponsor and provide a written statement pledging to support the partner for at least the first two years of their stay in the country. The commitment of support should include accommodation and financial support to meet their entire living expenses for the 2 year duration. However, all partner migration cases are assessed on an individual basis by the Australian Immigration Authorities to satisfy existing character and health requirements. The advantage of partner migration applications is the fact they do not require the applicant to undertake language or skills tests that are normally required for skilled migrant applicants.
If you are a citizen or a permanent resident of Australia, you may be able to bring in a close family member to the country. The member of your family must be without other close relatives in their present country or any other overseas country. This Visa which falls under the other family class is known as the Remaining Relative Visa. A permanent resident or citizen may also be able to bring in their parents if they are elderly and depend on the Australian citizen for support and upkeep. The visa that allows a person to bring in their parents is known as the Aged Parents Migration Visa.
The main requirement for bringing in family members is that the Australian citizen or resident must act as the sponsor and commit to take care of the family members upon arrival in Australia. However the sponsor must be over 18 years of age. The parent visa has a limited number of places available annually and applicants should expect a delay that may run for a number of years. A person who sponsors a remaining relative for a visa cannot sponsor another relative. In addition, the person who arrives to Australia as a remaining relative cannot sponsor another person for a visa.
The above process takes time and due to its complexity, any person requesting for a visa as an applicant or sponsor should consider making use the services offered by migration agents Sydney.
