About this visa
Contributory parent visas offer a considerably faster route for parents to join their children, in return for a higher contribution toward healthcare and welfare costs.
The subclass 143 is a permanent visa, while the subclass 173 is a temporary step that can later lead to the permanent visa - useful for spreading the contribution over time.
Both require passing the Balance of Family test and providing an Assurance of Support, which we assess carefully before you commit.
This may suit you if
- Your child is a settled citizen or permanent resident
- You pass the Balance of Family test
- You want a faster parent pathway
- You can meet the contribution and Assurance of Support
