What is the remaining relative visa (subclass 115)?

The purpose of a subclass 115 visa is to enable people to reunite with their close family members in Australia. This visa lets people move to Australia to live with their closest relative who has already settled here. It is a fantastic way to bring families back together and ease the loneliness that comes with being apart. It is especially good for older parents who do not have any family left in their home country or for siblings who are the only ones outside of Australia.

Eligibility requirements for a remaining relative visa

For the Remaining Relative visa, specific eligibility criteria must be met.

對於申請人:

  • Be the only remaining relative of either an Australian citizen, permanent resident or eligible New Zealand citizen, currently residing outside of Australiasome text
    • This includes an eligible parent, step-parent, sibling or step-sibling, or an eligible partner of these listed relatives, as approved by the department
  • Have assurance of support from your Australian relative that confirms that they can financially support you (a legal commitment)
  • Be outside of Australia when applying for the visa and at the time of the decision
  • Meet the health requirements
  • Meet the character requirements
  • Not have any outstanding debts to the Australian government
  • Signed the Australian values statement

The Department will also assess applicants' immigration history and consider the best interests of any dependent children when evaluating the application.

For sponsors, the criteria includes:

  • 是澳大利亞公民、永久居民或符合條件的紐西蘭公民
  • Be settled in Australia 
  • 年滿 18 周歲 
  • Have not previously sponsored someone on a Remaining Relative visa (subclass 835 or subclass 115), Preferential Family visa (subclass 104) or Family visa (subclass 806)

Applicants should note that if their close relatives reside outside of Australia or hold a temporary visa (excluding eligible New Zealand citizens), a visa will not be granted. Temporary visas include bridging visas.

Benefits of a remaining relative visa

There are several benefits for applicants who successfully receive a Remaining Relative visa.

However, applicants should be aware that various visa conditions may apply, and all accompanying family members must follow them. This includes the requirement to obey Australian laws

- They can stay in Australia permanently work and study in the country, enrol in Australia’s public healthcare system, sponsor relatives to come to Australia, and, where eligible, apply for Australian citizenship.

- Applicants are able to leave and re enter Australia once their application has been approved.

- Applicants should note that there may be waiting periods before they are eligible to access government benefits.

- As mentioned earlier, applicants can also include members of their immediate family when they apply.

Remaining relative visa checklist

Subclass 115 visa applications cannot be lodged online or in person as they are paper-based. Furthermore, they require a significant amount of supporting documentation. The following documents must be submitted by post to support a visa application.

This list is extensive, and as mentioned earlier, these are the documents required for the paper application for a subclass 115 visa. To confirm, this means that you cannot lodge your application online like other visa types. This can be extremely time consuming and stressful for those seeking an Australian visa. At Australian Migration Agents, we can help to reduce these stresses and streamline the process for you.

How the remaining relative visa works?

The processing of a Remaining Relative visa (subclass 155) application happens in several stages. First, after confirming eligibility, applicants should complete the application form, find a sponsor, submit necessary documents, and pay the initial fee. Once the Department receives the application, it's initially reviewed and placed in a queue until a spot becomes available. During this time, the Department may ask applicants to fulfil additional health or character requirements. When a spot opens up, the Department will reevaluate the application and request the second payment. Then, they'll inform the applicant of their decision in writing. If approved, the applicant will receive their visa details, start date, and any conditions attached to the visa. If rejected, applicants will be provided with reasons for the refusal and information on reviewing the decision. Upon approval, the visa will be electronically linked to the applicant's passport.

Remaining relative visa processing times using Australian migration agents

Predicting processing time for a Remaining Relative visa application can be challenging due to the high demand for these visas compared to the limited number of available places each year. Delays in processing time can occur if applications are not filled in correctly, lack relevant information, require further verification, or if the application fee is not paid correctly. However, these delays can be minimised by engaging an Australian Migration Agent. They can ensure that all applications meet compliance standards and help with promptly responding to any requests from the Department.

Remaining relative visa considerations: Timing & location

Given the lengthy processing time for a Remaining Relative visa and the requirement for applicants to stay outside of Australia until a decision is made, it's crucial to carefully consider if this visa option is the most suitable. It's also important to understand that a Remaining Relative visa is not guaranteed, as the Department has the discretion to grant or refuse visas. If applicants require extra support or advice during the process of applying for a subclass 115 visa, Australian Migration Agents are dedicated to providing ongoing assistance and guidance throughout the entire visa application process.
