CHILD VISA (SUBCLASS 802)
This visa allows a child who is in Australia to stay in Australia.
A Child visa (subclass 802) lets an eligible parent sponsor their child to live in Australia indefinitely. The parent can apply on behalf of a child younger than 18 years of age.
An eligible parent is:
- An Australian citizen
- The holder of an Australian permanent resident visa
- An eligible New Zealand citizen.
The child must be in Australia when the application is lodged and when the visa is granted.
This is a permanent residence visa. It allows the child to:
- Stay in Australia indefinitely
- Work and study in Australia
- Enrol in Medicare, Australia’s scheme for health-related care and expenses
- Apply for Australian citizenship (if they are eligible)
- Sponsor eligible relatives for permanent residence
- Travel to and from Australia for five years from the date the visa is granted – after that time they will need another visa to enter Australia.
