Keep in Mind
It’s important to note that this visa does not grant permanent residency. It is a temporary visa that allows the child to remain in Australia while the parent’s permanent Partner visa is being processed. Additionally, children holding this visa must apply for the same permanent Partner visa as their parent before a decision is made on the parent’s application.
