Subclass 804Aged Parent Visa
An affordable onshore permanent visa for aged parents of Australian citizens or PRs — with an extremely long processing queue.
Overview
The Subclass 804 Aged Parent Visa is the onshore, non-contributory permanent parent visa for parents who are of pension age and currently in Australia. Like the 103, it is very affordable but has an extremely long processing queue, often exceeding 30 years.
While waiting in the 804 queue, applicants can remain in Australia on a Bridging Visa A with work rights (if eligible). This makes it popular among aged parents who are already in Australia and want to stay legally while waiting.
F4MG helps aged parents understand their options between the 804 (low cost, very long wait) and the 864 (higher cost, faster) and develops a strategy that suits their circumstances.
