👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Parent Visa (Subclass 804, 103, 143, 173, 864 & 884)

Thinking of bringing your parents to Australia? 🇦🇺
The Parent Visa program allows eligible parents of Australian citizens or permanent residents to live in Australia—either permanently or temporarily. The visa you apply for depends on whether you’re inside or outside Australia. 🧳✈️

Since June 2, 2014, some family visas have undergone changes, but there are still multiple pathways available to reunite families. ❤️
At LUMINS, we’re here to help you choose the best path for your loved ones.
