Eligibility

Applicant

Location

Usually, applicants must be outside Australia at the time of application and visa grant.

However, COVID concessions allow you to be in Australia at the time of visa grant if:

• your Subclass 300 visa is granted after 26 February 2021; and

• the visa application was made during the concession period which commenced 1 February 2020 and is ongoing; and

• you were in Australia at any time during that concession period

Duration of Stay

This is a permanent visa that allows you to stay permanently in Australia. However, its travel facility expires after 5 years so you will need to apply for Resident Return Visa (Subclass 155 & 157) or Australian citizenship (if eligible) if you wish to travel overseas and back to Australia after the expiry date.

Benefits

With this visa, you may:​​

• migrate to Australia together with your children

• stay in Australia until the application is decided

• potentially bring your extended family members to Australia permanently on parent visa or visa intended for other relatives

• travel overseas and back to Australia for any purposes (e.g. overseas holiday, visiting family and/or attending family matters in home country)

• access Australia’s public health care scheme (Medicare) which essentially provides free medical consultations, operations and hospitalization for a wide range of medical conditions

• work in Australia without any limitations

• study in Australia without any limitations
