    How to Apply for an Orphan Child Visa Australia

    Ensure 100% visa success by taking into account the following step by step application process:

    1

    Step One

    Evaluate the child’s basic eligibility first. Check the passport if it’s still valid. Appoint an Australian immigration agent or lawyer to apply on your behalf should you need it.

    2

    Step Two

    Compile all documents needed to support the child’s application, from identity documents such as passport, travel document, photos, proof that the child has no parent to provide care for them, and relationship evidence with you.

    3

    Step Three

    Once you’ve gathered all pertinent documents, submit your application by paper as online lodgements are currently not accepted for this visa type. The child must be outside Australia at the time and when a decision is made. You must also pay the fees first online as you will need to attach the payment receipt in your application.

    4

    Step Four

    Wait for the Department to notify you if they need more information to further evaluate your application, or if you need to undergo a health examination and/or biometrics. You must duly inform the Department if you have mistakes in your application or if there are changes in your current circumstances.

    5

    Step Five

    Finally, anticipate whether or not your application is approved or otherwise denied. If granted, the Department will write you a letter confirming the date you can fly to Australia alongside other key information. If denied, they will also let you know why. You can file an appeal at the Tribunal or consult with a professional to help you reapply or explore other visa options.

      Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)


      Who can apply for an orphan visa Australia?

      An Orphan Relative Visa is for children under 18 who are from outside Australia and have no parent to care for them because their parents are deceased, permanently incapacitated, or of unknown whereabouts. The child must have a relative in Australia who is an AU citizen, permanent resident, or eligible New Zealander willing to sponsor them.

      What are the requirements to sponsor an orphan relative?

      To sponsor an orphan relative, you must be the child’s relative or the spouse/de facto partner of the child’s relative. You must also be settled in Australia as either a citizen, permanent resident, or a qualified New Zealander. Additionally, you need to have the capacity to provide for the child’s accommodation, welfare, and other needs.

      How long does the orphan relative visa process take?

      Processing times differ based on several factors, including the completeness of the application, how quickly you respond to any requests for additional information, and the number of applications being assessed. In general, processing times can take from 28 to 72 months. It’s critical to provide all required documents promptly to avoid delays.

      Can an orphan relative study and work in Australia with this visa?
