About this visa
The onshore contributory aged parent visas allow eligible aged parents who are already in the country to apply for permanent (864) or temporary (884) status without leaving.
They follow the contributory model, offering a faster pathway in return for a higher contribution, and are ideal for aged parents who are already onshore, often on another visa.
As with the offshore contributory visas, the Balance of Family test and an Assurance of Support apply, and we assess both up front.
