Aged Parent Visa (Subclass) 804

The Subclass 804 visa, or aged parent visa, is structured for those eligible parents of Australian citizens, permanent residents, or New Zealand citizens (if eligible) who wish to stay in Australia permanently.

The Subclass 804 is a permanent visa that generally permits visa holders to enjoy the same benefits and entitlements as a citizen, with only a few minor differences. The subclass 804 visa has the lowest application fee of all the Parent visas; however, processing of subclass 804 visa is a long drawn affair, usually taking up to 13 years to be approved. If an application is made in Australia, the applicant may be able to remain in Australia on a bridging visa during the processing of the visa.

How to Apply for a Subclass 804 Visa

Before applying for the subclass 804 visa, the candidate must ensure that they hold a valid passport. If the current visa is lost, or about to expire, we recommend securing a new passport prior to submitting an application.

The application steps are then as follows:

Gather all of the relevant documentary evidence in line with the visa conditions. All of these evidence must be collated and analysed alongside the subclass 84 visa requirements. It is imperative that the evidence complements the facts declared in the application.
Once the application is complete it can be submitted to the Department alongside the necessary fees. It is crucial that all fees are paid in full to avoid having your application cancelled or delayed.
After submitting your application the Department will begin your visa assessment. Once a decision has been made you will be notified by registered post.
