Question of the Week



Retired UK citizens moving to Australia and being sponsored by their daughter?

Category: Visa for Australia

Question asked

Hi

Our only child (Daughter) lives in Australia, has permanent residency and has applied for citizenship.

My wife and I (Aged 61 and 64 respectively) are both retired UK citizens and would like to move to Australia to be with our daughter. We know that she is able to sponsor us for a visa as she is our only child but my concern is my health as I am Diabetic (type 2) and asthmatic. My question is would my existing conditions prevent me obtaining a permeant residency visa? I will add that we are high net worth individuals so can afford to pay for reasonable medical expenses.

I do understand that with Corona virus restrictions we could not apply for a visa at the moment.

Hello D.

I am R., one of the consulting Registered Migration Agents here on Ask-An-Agent.

In brief your medical conditions should not preclude you from a Parent Visa. I say this of course without knowing the severity of your own condition. If either of the conditions were severe so as to warrant extensive hospitalisation for example, that could lead the Department to request further investigation. However it is always possible to request a waiver should it be warranted.

You could actually start the process now as it takes time to actually be processed. That time will depend on which visa you are considering. If you have anything further you require, please do not hesitate to request a clarification.

Thank you for using Ask-An-Agent. If you need further services from myself, you can always message me using the Ask-An-Agent messenger or chat. You can also reach me by contacting Amy at amy.jacobson@ask-an-agent.com.au – and don’t forget to mention your question ID so that I can keep providing immigration services to you.

Kind regards
