A small number of visas are available to the siblings and more distant relatives of Australian citizens and permanent residents.
These visas include:
· remaining relative visas
· carer visas
· offshore humanitarian visas
There are issues associated with each of these visas, such as the time it takes for the visa to be granted, the limited number of visas that are available each year relative to the number of applications that are lodged, and the nature of the evidence that needs to be provided in order to qualify for one of these visas.
Our expert immigration lawyers can advise whether any of these visas represents the best way to brin family members to Australia. We have acted in a number of these cases and can provide you with clear and detailed advice about what evidence needs to be included in the application.
