Parent visas are visas that allow the parents of an Australian citizen, permanent resident, or eligible New Zealand citizen to live in Australia permanently or for an extended period. These visas are also known as Family Visas and are designed to reunite families who are separated due to geographical boundaries.

There are different types of parent visas available, including:

Parent Visa (subclass 103) - This is a permanent visa that allows the parent to live in Australia permanently.

Contributory Parent Visa (subclass 143) - This is a permanent visa that requires a significant contribution payment, and the processing time is faster than the Parent Visa.

Contributory Aged Parent Visa (subclass 864) - This is a permanent visa that is designed for parents who are of retirement age.

Aged Parent Visa (subclass 804) - This is a permanent visa that is designed for parents who are of retirement age, but it has a longer processing time than the Contributory Aged Parent Visa.

The requirements and eligibility criteria for these visas vary depending on the type of visa. Generally, to be eligible for a parent visa, the applicant must meet certain health and character requirements and have a sponsoring child in Australia who meets the criteria for sponsorship.
