• Bridging visa will be granted for 864 visa You can legally stay in Australia while waiting for the 864 visa. Having bridging visa is the biggest advantage for aged parent visa applicants, this is because DHA consider most aged parents are at their senior age and cannot travel safely. The bridging visa will allow them to stay in Australia and do not have to travel frequently due to short visa duration.

The department of Home Affairs does not estimate processing times for all parent visas. Applications for these visas are subject to capping and queueing. However, the DHA estimate it will take at least 58 months for the contributory parent visa (173, 143, 864) to be assessed by a case officer.
