Child Visas

Are you a parent looking to bring your child to Australia? There are several visa options for children of Australian citizens, permanent residents, or eligible New Zealand citizens. These visas are designed to reunite families and enable children to live with their parents in Australia.

Visa Subclass

Child Visa – Within Australia

The Child (subclass 802) visa is for children who are in Australia and are dependent on their parent(s) who are Australian citizens, permanent residents, or eligible New Zealand citizens. This visa allows children to live in Australia permanently with their parent(s).

Child Visa – Outside Australia

The Child (subclass 101) visa is for children who are outside Australia and are dependent on their parent(s) who are Australian citizens, permanent residents, or eligible New Zealand citizens. This visa allows children to live in Australia permanently with their parent(s).

Adoption Visa

The Adoption visa (subclass 102) is for children who have been adopted or are in the process of being adopted by an Australian citizen, permanent resident, or eligible New Zealand citizen. This visa allows children to live in Australia permanently with their adoptive parent(s).

Dependent Child Visa

The Dependent Child visa (subclass 445) is a temporary visa for children of parents who hold a temporary partner visa, prospective marriage visa, or a Dependent Child visa. This visa allows children to live in Australia temporarily with their parent(s) while their permanent visa application is being processed.

Eligibility Criteria
