Overview
The Sponsored Parent (Temporary) visa (subclass 870) is a special opportunity for parents living outside Australia to visit their children in Australia for a longer period. This visa allows parents to stay in Australia temporarily without becoming permanent residents. The idea is to reunite families, making it easier for parents to spend quality time with their children and grandchildren in Australia. It’s a wonderful way to bridge the distance and strengthen family bonds across continents.
