Are you looking to bring an elderly relative to Australia? The Aged Dependent Relative visa subclass 838 and the Aged Dependent Relative visa subclass 114 may be the right choice for you. Here is an overview of the requirements and benefits of this visa, as well as some tips on applying. With this information, you can determine if the Aged Dependent Relative visa is the right choice for your family.

Aged Dependent Relative visa subclass 838

The aged dependent relative visa subclass 838 is a visa option for those seeking to stay in Australia permanently. The visa is only available for eligible relatives of Australian citizens, permanent residents, or eligible citizens. This visa is designed for people with a dependent relative over 66 who would otherwise not be able to meet the usual requirements for a permanent visa.

The main applicant must have an Australian citizen, permanent resident or eligible citizen parent, grandparent, aunt/uncle, niece/nephew or step-relative who meets certain age and relationship requirements. Additionally, the main applicant must also meet character, health and other requirements, such as having a genuine commitment to living in Australia permanently.

If approved, the visa allows the main applicant and any family members included in the application to stay in Australia indefinitely and access certain welfare and health services. This visa also allows the holder to work and study in Australia and travel in and out of Australia for up to five years. After this period, you can apply for a further visa if you wish to remain in Australia.

Aged Dependent Relative visa subclass 114

Aged Dependent Relative visa subclass 114 is designed for elderly relatives of Australian citizens and permanent residents. This visa allows elderly relatives to stay in Australia and live with family members. The applicant must be aged 65 or over, or if aged between 18 and 64, must be unable to work due to a medical condition.

The Aged Dependent Relative visa differs from the Age Pensioner visa, which requires applicants to have lived in Australia for at least 10 years before applying. Aged Dependent Relative visa subclass 114 is available to those who don’t meet the requirements of the Age Pensioner visa or have not yet lived in Australia for 10 years.

This visa provides the elderly relative with permanent residency in Australia, allowing them to stay in the country indefinitely. They are also eligible for health care benefits and may apply for citizenship after 4 years.
