Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between the Subclass 143 and Subclass 103 Parent Visas?

The main differences are the government application charges and processing times. The Subclass 143 (Contributory Parent Visa) generally has higher application charges but a significantly shorter processing time than the Subclass 103 Parent Visa. We can help you compare both options based on your family's circumstances.

Does the Subclass 870 Sponsored Parent Visa lead to permanent residency?

No. The Subclass 870 Sponsored Parent Visa is a temporary visa and does not provide a pathway to permanent residency. If your long-term goal is permanent settlement, we can advise you on other available parent visa options.

Can my parents stay in Australia while their Parent Visa is being processed?

This depends on the type of Parent Visa they apply for, where the application is lodged, and their current visa status. We can advise you on the available options based on your family's circumstances.

CLIENT STORIES

We've helped 17,000+ people secure their dream in Australia.

Check out what they say!

B.Smart helped us navigate the Contributory Parent Visa process for my mother-in-law. Their team was thorough and kept us updated at every step.

We weren't sure whether the 143 or 870 was the right choice for our family. After one consultation, everything was clear.

The team genuinely understood our family's circumstances and gave us real, practical advice — not just generic information.

Our parents are now here with us. B.Smart made the whole process as smooth as it could be. We're incredibly grateful.
