Ensure 100% visa success by taking into account the following step by step application process:
1
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
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
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
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
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.
