Family-stream Permanent Residence Visas
Visa for Eligible Family Members
For those wishing to establish roots Down Under, the Family-Stream Permanent Residence Visas offer a compelling route to secure residency for both the visa holder and their eligible family members.
Understanding Family-Stream Permanent Residence Visas
The Family-Stream category is designed to unite immediate and extended family members with their Australian relatives. It aims to promote family unity while contributing to the nation’s social fabric.
The Family-Stream Permanent Residence Visas reflect Australia’s commitment to valuing family bonds and maintaining cultural diversity. These visas provide a gateway for families to build lives together in a nation known for its high quality of life and opportunities.
While the application process can be complex, the reward of reuniting with loved ones and creating a future in Australia makes the journey well worth the effort.
Visa Subclasses
The category encompasses several visa subclasses, each tailored to specific relationships within the family unit:
- Partner Visa (subclass 801/820): Designed for spouses, de facto partners, or fiancé(e)s of Australian citizens, permanent residents, or eligible New Zealand citizens.
- Child Visa (subclass 101/102/445): For dependent children of Australian citizens, permanent residents, or eligible New Zealand citizens.
- Parent Visa (subclass 103/143/173): Allows parents to join their Australian citizen, permanent resident, or eligible New Zealand citizen children.
- Other Family Visa (subclass 114/115/116/117/118/119/120/837/838/835/806): These cover a range of family relationships, including aged dependent relatives, remaining relatives, carers, and more.
Eligibility Criteria
Eligibility requirements vary depending on the specific subclass of the visa being applied for. Generally, applicants must demonstrate:
– Genuine and ongoing relationship for partner visas.
– Dependence for child visas.
– Age limitations for parent visas.
– Assurance of care for aged dependent relatives or carers.

- Visa Application: The applicant submits their visa application, including supporting documents, proof of relationship, health assessments, and character checks.
- Processing: Processing times can vary significantly depending on the visa subclass and individual circumstances. Some visas might have longer wait times due to high demand.

I am Srinivasan. I received SA 491 grant recently. I was referred to Mr. Murali by my friend and former colleague Mr. Karthik.I have lived in USA for 10+ years and was very skeptical about migrating to Australia initially considering my age. Immigrating to Australia is a complex process.My first communication with Mr. Murali got me convinced that I have found the right contact to address my immigration concerns. He guided me on the correct visa that i need to apply for. He also provided me a contact who would help me with the correct guidance to crack PTE to get maximum points from it.I also would like to express my gratitude to Mr. Murali for being very patient in answering my questions (sometimes silly and basic) and always reassured me that everything will be fine throughout the whole journey. During the course of the journey i was getting into an uncertain mode whether i would get the grant or not, and Mr. Murali again assured me that the grants will flow out soon. Their charges for the services were also nominal.Mr. Murali was very practical in his answers with me which always kept me afloat through the entire process when my thoughts about the grant happening were fading away and i was almost ready to forget about it. In short, Mr. Murali was "the" man for me during crisis.I will definitely recommend Mr. Murali and Mangalath Immigration Services India and Mangalath Immigration Australia for a transparent, smooth and assured process for anyone desiring to get an Australian visa.Again Thank you Mr. Murali for the services, guidance and patience for keeping my mind at ease
