For eligible children already in Australia, these are the types of child visas they may be best qualified for.
For dependent children whose parent is either an Australian citizen or permanent resident, subclass 802 is a permanent visa for single applicants aged under 18, full-time student between 18 and 25, or over 25 but disabled and cannot work.
If the child is under the age of 18, single, and with no parent(s) to care for them, an orphan relative visa lets the child applicant live permanently in Australia with a sponsoring relative who is either an Australian, permanent resident or eligible New Zealand citizen.
This child visa subclass is for children whose parent holds a temporary partner visa and is in the process of obtaining a permanent partner visa. Once this is granted, the child must then be included in the permanent partner visa application as a dependent. Application for this visa can be made inside or outside Australia.
For children living overseas who wants to live with their sponsoring parents, their visa options are:
For dependents overseas whose parent is either an Aussie, New Zealander, or Australian permanent resident, the subclass 101 visa is a permanent visa for single children over 18 years of age but under 25, or over 25 but financially dependent on the parent and cannot work due to a disability.
This permanent residence visa is for overseas children whose parents are deceased, permanently immobilised, or whose
whereabouts are unknown. They must have a permanently settled Australian relative to sponsor them.
For children living overseas who have been or about to be adopted by an Australian citizen or a permanent residency visa holder, an adoption visa lets them live permanently in Australia with their adoptive parent(s).
Important Note: If the child was adopted before the parent became an Australian citizen or the holder of an Australian permanent visa or an eligible New Zealand citizen, they should instead apply for a Child visa (subclass 101).
