REMAINING RELATIVE VISA TO AUSTRALIA

A person with all relatives settled in Australia may be considered for the "remaining relative" Visa in Australia. You will need to demonstrate that you have a brother, sister or parent (including step-equivalent) who is an Australian citizen, permanent resident or eligible New Zealand citizens who is usually resident in Australia. This relative must be willing to act as your sponsor.

In addition to having a suitable sponsor, both you AND your spouse (if any) will need to demonstrate that you have no brothers, sister, (non-dependent) children, parents (or step-equivalents) other than those in Australia.

The Remaining Relative Visa may be applied for from inside or outside Australia. If you are applying while you are inside Australia you must also hold a valid substantive Visa and be in Australia at the time the Visa is granted.

AUSTRALIAN REMAINING RELATIVE VISA BASIC REQUIREMENTS

To be eligible to apply for a Remaining Relative Visa you must be able to demonstrate:

• if you do have a spouse, that all their parents, siblings and non-dependent children (including step-relationships) are also settled in Australia; AND

AUSTRALIAN REMAINING RELATIVE VISA ENTITLEMENTS

Successful Visa applicants will be granted Australian permanent residence under this Visa type.

As a permanent resident, you have the right to live, work and study in Australia indefinitely. When you are granted permanent residence, a Visa label is placed in your passport as proof of your permanent residency.

Other benefits of holding permanent residence include access to Medicare (government-subsidised health care) and ability to apply for citizenship once you satisfy the relevant residency requirements.
