Sponsored Parent Temporary Visa Subclass 870 guidance

Who this visa may suit

For families wanting longer parent visits

Subclass 870 may suit families who want parents to spend extended time in Australia without immediately applying for permanent parent migration.

Sponsor approval first

Sponsorship is a key first step

The sponsoring child generally needs to meet sponsorship requirements before the parent can apply for the visa. Families should plan the sponsor and applicant steps carefully.

Sponsorship is a key first step
This is not a permanent parent visa
Approach

This is not a permanent parent visa

Families should understand that Subclass 870 is temporary and should be planned differently from permanent parent visa options such as 103, 143, 804, or 864.

Sponsor and parent documents both matter

Sponsor identity and residence status
Parent-child relationship evidence
Parent identity documents
Health insurance or health-related planning
Financial and family situation details
Intended stay explanation
