At AK Migration & Visa Services, we help families reunite by assisting with Child Visa applications. Whether you are bringing your child to Australia after birth, adopting a child, or bringing an orphaned relative, we provide expert guidance to ensure a smooth and successful visa process.
Understanding Child Visa Eligibility
A child does not automatically become an Australian permanent resident or citizen just because they are born in Australia. Their visa status depends on the visa status of their parents at the time of birth.
- If you hold a temporary or provisional visa and have a baby in Australia, your child will receive the same visa as you. You must notify the Australian Government of the birth to have the child's visa granted.
- If you are a permanent resident and have a child in Australia, that child is automatically an Australian citizen.
- If you are an Australian citizen and have a baby while overseas, you must apply to register the baby as an Australian citizen.
- If you are a permanent resident and have a baby outside Australia, your child will not hold a visa. The child must apply for a Child Visa to travel to and live in Australia.
Types of Child Visas
There are three permanent child visas and one temporary visa available:
Permanent Child Visas
- Adoption Visa (Subclass 102) – For children adopted overseas by an Australian citizen, permanent resident, or eligible New Zealand citizen.
- Child Visa (Subclass 101) – For children outside Australia who want to migrate to Australia to live with their parents who are Australian citizens or permanent residents.
- Child Visa (Subclass 802) (Onshore) – For children inside Australia applying for permanent residency while staying with their parents.
Other Child Visa Options
- Orphan Relative Visa (Subclass 117/837) – For children outside Australia who have no living parents and have a relative in Australia willing to sponsor them.
