For many families, the dream of reuniting in Australia is a priority. While most immigration pathways involve children migrating with their parents or parents sponsoring their children later, the Subclass 802 Child Visa offers a unique route for children already in Australia. This visa allows eligible children to remain in the country permanently under the sponsorship of their parent.
Why Choose the Subclass 802 Child Visa?
Unlike other pathways where age restrictions at the time of visa approval can be a challenge, the Subclass 802 Child Visa only requires that the child be under 25 years old at the time of application. This provides greater flexibility, particularly in cases where visa processing times may extend over several years.
Who Can Sponsor a Child for the 802 Visa?
To be eligible as a sponsor, the parent must:
Be an Australian citizen, permanent resident, or eligible New Zealand citizen.
Be at least 18 years old.
Be able to provide financial, housing, and general support for the child for at least two years after visa approval.
Meet Australia’s character requirements, including clearances related to child safety.
Who Can Apply for the 802 Visa?
The child must:
Be inside Australia at the time of application and visa grant.
Be biological, adopted, or a stepchild of the sponsor.
Be single and financially dependent on their parent.
Be under 18 years old, or a full-time student aged 18-25, or over 18 and unable to work due to a disability.
Meet Australia’s health and character requirements.
Benefits of the Subclass 802 Child Visa

✅ The right to live, study, and work in Australia permanently.
✅ Access to Medicare and other social benefits.
✅ The ability to travel freely in and out of Australia.
