About this visa
The subclass 103 (offshore) and 804 (onshore, aged) are the non-contributory parent visas. They cost significantly less than the contributory options.
The trade-off is time: non-contributory parent visas typically involve very long processing periods, so they suit families who prioritise lower cost over speed.
The Balance of Family test and an Assurance of Support still apply. We help you weigh the non-contributory and contributory routes honestly so you choose the right one.
This may suit you if
- You prefer a lower-cost parent pathway
- You can accept much longer processing
- Your child is a settled sponsor
- You pass the Balance of Family test
