Remaining Relative Visa 115

Who this visa may suit

For applicants with no near relatives outside Australia

This pathway may suit eligible people outside Australia whose close family connections are in Australia and who meet the remaining relative criteria.

Family mapping

The family tree must be clear and complete

Remaining relative applications require detailed family structure evidence to show where near relatives live and how the applicant meets the criteria.

The family tree must be clear and complete
Sponsor eligibility must be documented
Approach

Sponsor eligibility must be documented

The sponsor’s Australian status, relationship to the applicant, settlement, and support role should be clearly evidenced.

This can be a long-term pathway

Other family visas have limited annual places, and remaining relative queues can be long. Applicants should understand practical timing before applying.
