Family migration makes for almost half of Australia’s annual permanent migration intake this year, allowing families to reunite in Australia. While some visas in the family stream are processed in a couple of years, some others, like the parent visas and the remaining relative visas, can take several decades.


Highlights

  • In 2021-22, Family Stream is predominately made of partner visas
  • Parents have seven visa options, with only one for those unable to pass the balance of family test
  • Carer visa has processing time up to four and half years while 50 years may pass before a relative visa is granted
