About the subclass 101 Child visa
This visa allows a child of an Australian permanent resident who is currently outside Australia to come to Australia to live with their parents.
The Child visa subclass 101 is a permanent visa and allows your child to live permanently in Australia.
A Child visa subclass 101 lets an eligible parent sponsor their child to live in Australia indefinitely.
If a child is younger than 18 years of age a parent may apply on behalf of the child.
To be eligible to sponsor a child for a Child Visa Subclass 101 a parent must be:
- an Australian citizen, or
- an Australian permanent resident, or
- an eligible New Zealand citizen. (An eligible New Zealand citizen a New Zealand citizen who was living in Australia on 26 February 2001 or for at least one year in the two years immediately before 26 February 2001)
The visa application must be lodged outside Australia and the child must be outside Australia when the visa application is decided.
