Contributory Parent Temporary Visa 173

Contributory Parent Temporary Visa 173 is a type of visa that allows the parents of an Australian citizen or permanent resident to reunite with their children who are currently living in Australia for a specific period of time.

Due to the long processing time of the non-contributory parent visa (currently over 30 years), the feasible solution to bring parents to settle in Australia is the contributory parent temporary visa 173.

The applicant for this contributory visa 173 must have at least as many children living permanently in Australia as those living in other countries outside Australia.

The applicant must have at least one child who is an Australian citizen, an Australian permanent resident, or a eligible New Zealand citizen who live in Australia for at least 2 years before the 173 visa application is submitted.

The applicant must meet all health and character requirements.

The Parent Temporary Visa 173 provides the opportunity for the applicant to pay the fee over a longer period of time to reduce financial pressure.

After the parents have entered Australia on the 173 visa, they have 2 years to apply for the 143 visa, a permanent residency visa that allows them to settle in Australia permanently.
