A temporary child visa allows a child to reside in Australia while their parent’s Partner visa is being processed. It also gives the child access to quality education and other essential perks of Australian residency. However, it will also require the child to be dependent on the Australian visa-holding parent or sponsor.
A permanent child visa grants permanent residency with the child’s parents in Australia. Same with a Temporary child visa, it gives the child access to all the essential perks of an Australian resident.
A permanent child visa also allows the child to apply for citizenship if eligible. To qualify for a permanent child visa, the parent should be an Australian or New Zealand citizen or resident.

Since the application has to be lodged outside Australia, processing times for a child visa 101 are typically longer than for an 802 visa lodged onshore. For 75 per cent of applications, it could take up to 8 to 15 months, while 90 per cent of applications are finalised even longer, up to 13 to 24 months.
As is the case with most visas, processing times vary and are constantly changing. Make sure to submit all the correct and complete information to avoid delays, as the Department may ask for additional documents if they find something missing.
For the main applicant, the cost for a child visa subclass 101 in Australia is A$3,235 according to the Department’s official website. Note that these are subject to change. You will also need to prepare more money for additional applicants and other charges for certain requirements.
The 101 visa benefits do more than legally relocate your child to be with you in Australia. It will give them the bright future they deserve and thrive in a safe and supportive environment.
Your child will be given the opportunity to settle in Australia permanently and enjoy the mandatory benefits of an Australian citizen. They can also be eligible for citizenship after a few years once they qualify.

You can apply for a subclass 101 Australia visa if your child is under 16 and cannot do the application on his or her own. Your child can also authorise you to handle the application process and submit a Form 956A. But it’s still advisable to contact the Department or consult with an Australian migration agent for proper guidance and advice.
A 101 visa in Australia has a travel facility of up to five (5) years. Your child can leave Australia and travel to another country while this visa’s travel facility remains valid. Once it expires and your child wants or needs to travel outside Australia, he or she will need to apply and be approved for a resident return visa so as not to negatively impact the child’s PR visa status.
Application for a child visa subclass 101 shall be made outside Australia and via paper only. Having said so, online applications are currently unavailable. However, applicant can import their application into ImmiAccount once DOHA acknowledges that they have received the application. Importing an application into ImmiAccount gives applicants access to a range of online services that make it easier to manage their application.
Both are permanent child visas. The main and only difference is where the application is lodged. The subclass 101 visa is for offshore applicants (outside Australia), whereas the subclass 802 visa is for onshore candidates (applying in Australia).
A bridging visa allows child applicants to be in Australia legally while their visa is still being processed. But since an Australia 101 visa is for offshore applicants who need to be outside Australia during application, the child will need to apply for another valid visa in order to enter Australia.
