Child Visas

Child Visas

Child visa is for a natural, adopted or stepchild to live with their parent/s in Australia. The visa application must be sponsored by a parent who must be an Australian citizen, holder of a permanent visa or an eligible New Zealand citizen. Children born outside Australia to parents who are not Australian citizens do not automatically acquire Australian citizenship. Therefore, children born outside Australia to permanent resident parent/s need to apply for child visa.
