The Sponsored Parent (Temporary) visa (subclass 870) is designed to facilitate the temporary stay of parents of Australian citizens, permanent residents, or eligible New Zealand citizens. Extended Stay: Holders of the Subclass 870 Visa can enjoy an extended stay in Australia for up to five years at a time.
This visa allows for flexible 10-year renewal, ensuring continuous family reunification without the need for frequent reapplication, and exempts applicants from the stringent Balance of Family Test, simplifying the application process for eligible parents.
