Family Visas
DEPENDENT CHILDREN : ABOUT THIS VISA
This is a temporary visa for a child or stepchild of a parent who holds a temporary partner visa and has not yet been granted a permanent partner visa.
This means that the child’s parent must hold one of the following visas:
- temporary Partner visa (subclasses 309 or 820)
- temporary Spouse visa (subclasses 309 or 820)
- temporary Interdependency visa (subclasses 310 or 826).
Applicants for this visa will require sponsorship from the same person sponsoring the child’s visa-holding parent.
Note: If this visa is granted, the child must lodge a separate application for the same permanent visa as their parent before a decision is made on the parent’s permanent visa application.
