Super Visa

To apply for the Parent and Grandparent Super Visa, you must:

• be the parent or grandparent of a Australian citizen or a permanent resident of Australia;
• be found admissible to Australia; and
• Meet certain other conditions.

Visa officers consider several factors before deciding if a person is admissible. The person must be a genuine visitor to Australia who will leave by choice at the end of the visit. Among the things that could be considered are:

• the person's ties to the home country;
• the purpose of the visit;
• the person's family and financial situation;
• the overall economic and political stability of the home country; and
• An invitation from a Australian host.

In addition to being found admissible to Australia, the parent or grandparent must also:

• provide a written commitment of financial support from their child or grandchild in Australia who meets a minimum income threshold;
• prove that they have bought Australian medical insurance coverage for at least one year; and
• Complete an Immigration Medical Examination.
