受擔保父母（臨時）簽證

此簽證的用途#

The Sponsored Parent (Temporary) visa (subclass 870) is for parents of settled Australian citizens, Australian permanent residents and eligible New Zealand citizens who want to spend extended time in Australia with family. What it is: Up to 5 years at a time to visit family, with an approved sponsor.

這是 Parent 類別中的臨時簽證。Category: partner. Stream: Parent.

它是為比標準 Visitor visa 更長的家庭探訪而設計。它不是永久父母簽證，也不會自動轉成永久父母簽證。任何其他簽證都適用獨立的申請程序。

這個簽證取決於已核准的父母擔保人。實際上，通常是先完成擔保步驟，然後在 Department 邀請父母申請後才遞交簽證申請。

通常適合哪些人#

此簽證適用於是澳洲公民、澳洲永久居民或符合資格的新西蘭公民之父母的人，並希望在澳洲較長時間暫時停留，以與家人相聚。

此簽證適用於在簽證申請可繼續之前，已經有核准擔保人的人。擔保人通常是子女，或在某些情況下是與家庭單位有關聯的其他合資格人士。

此簽證適用於希望每次可暫時停留最多 3 年或最多 5 年的父母，視核准內容而定。它是為較長時間探訪而設，不是透過同一份申請進行永久移民。

此簽證也用於希望有更有結構、較長期探訪安排且簽證條件清楚、結束日期明確的家庭。父母在澳洲期間仍必須持有有效簽證並遵守所有條件。

What it costs#

這裡列出的政府簽證申請費是：

• 主申請人：$12,150

這是簽證申請本身的政府收費。無論由誰遞交，政府收費都相同，不論是申請人、註冊移民代理（registered migration agent）還是澳洲法律執業者（Australian legal practitioner）。

Separate costs can apply outside the visa application charge. These can include the sponsorship application charge, health examinations, police certificates, document translation and any professional fees charged by a registered migration agent or lawyer. Professional fees are set by the agent or lawyer, not by the government, so they vary from one provider to another.

政府收費會按指數調整，通常在 1 July 變更。通常應付金額一般是提交有效申請當日生效的金額。

需要多久時間#

審理時間在一年中可能改變。它們取決於申請量、遞交時文件有多完整、是否需要健康和品格審查，以及擔保人和申請人回應要求的速度。

有兩個會影響時間的階段。第一，父母擔保人必須先獲批。第二，在擔保獲批後，父母會被邀請遞交 subclass 870 簽證申請，然後處理該簽證申請。

Applications can take longer if identity documents are unclear, police certificates are delayed, health examinations expire and need to be repeated, or the Department asks for more information. Delays also happen when a document is uploaded in the wrong place, not translated properly, or is inconsistent with information already held by the Department.

因為時間安排會變動，許多家庭會以實際步驟來追蹤流程，而不是看固定幾週。主要時間點包括擔保批准、受邀申請、簽證遞交、任何補件要求，以及最終決定。

流程包含什麼#

流程通常從擔保人申請開始。擔保子女，或在規則允許時的其他合資格擔保人，會申請成為已核准的父母擔保人。該部門會先查核擔保要求，之後簽證申請才能繼續。

如果擔保獲批，部門會發出邀請，讓父母申請 subclass 870 簽證。簽證申請必須在該邀請所述期間內遞交。如果錯過該期限，可能需要重新開始新的流程。

The visa application is then lodged online with identity documents and supporting material. Typical documents can include passports, birth certificates or other documents showing the parent-child relationship, and any documents the Department asks for about family composition, identity or previous travel.

該部門可能會要求健康檢查或無犯罪證明。這些要求通常在遞交後提出，但有些申請人會提早準備可能需要的文件，因為海外記錄可能需要時間取得。任何非英文文件通常都需要翻譯。

遞交後，Department 可能會聯絡申請人或擔保人要求更多資訊。在處理期間保持聯絡資料最新很重要，因為這類要求通常會附有期限。

如果簽證獲批，核准通知會列出簽證期間和條件。臨時簽證可能附帶有關工作、學習、停留期限及遵守澳洲法律的條件。核准通知是說明簽證允許內容的關鍵紀錄。

常見問題#

A common problem is incomplete evidence at the sponsorship stage or the visa stage. Basic identity records, proof of the parent-child relationship, or civil documents may be missing, uploaded incorrectly or be hard to read. This can lead to a request for more information and a longer processing time.

文件過期是另一個常見問題。護照、無犯罪紀錄證明和某些體檢結果可能在申請處理期間過期。發生這種情況時，部門可能要求新的文件，這會增加費用和時間。

Names and dates that do not match across documents also cause trouble. Differences between passports, birth certificates, marriage certificates and older records can trigger questions about identity or family links. Even a small spelling difference can matter if there is no explanation document.

Some families do not realise that the sponsor and the visa applicant both need to monitor email and post carefully. If the Department asks for information and the deadline is missed, the application can be decided on the information already on file. That can be a serious problem when a simple missing document could have been provided.

Another practical issue is failing to tell the Department about a change of address, passport or contact details. If the Department sends a request to an old email address or old residential address, important deadlines can be missed. Contact details should stay current from sponsorship through to visa decision.

如果人們太早預訂機票，旅行安排也可能出問題。臨時父母簽證不是按照保證的時間表核發。如果申請延誤，不可退款的機票、活動預訂和長期承諾都可能變得昂貴。

Some people assume a bridging visa, if one exists in a different visa context, carries the same rights as the visa they held before. That assumption can cause work, travel or Medicare problems because bridging visa conditions are set by the actual bridging visa grant, not by the previous substantive visa. The visa grant notice or VEVO record needs to be checked for the exact conditions in effect.

Health and character steps are another source of delay. Police checks from overseas can take longer than expected, and health examinations may not be available quickly in every country. If these are left until the last minute after a request arrives, the response deadline can become difficult to meet.

Finally, some applicants treat the subclass 870 like a permanent parent visa pathway. It is a temporary visa with its own rules, its own period of stay and its own conditions. Assuming it automatically leads to permanent residence can result in poor planning about later visa steps, travel and family arrangements.

常見問題#

父母持 870 簽證可停留多久？#

此簽證允許比標準訪客簽證更長的家庭探訪臨時停留期。其內容是：在有已核准擔保人的情況下，每次最多 5 years 探訪家人。實際核准期間會顯示在簽證核發通知上。

父母可以在沒有擔保人的情況下申請 subclass 870 嗎？#

不是。流程要求先有已批准的父母擔保，簽證申請才能繼續。實際上，擔保申請會先被審理，之後父母會在收到邀請後申請簽證。

870 類別是永久簽證嗎？#

不是，這是臨時父母簽證。它允許明確界定的停留期間，且不會自動變成永久簽證。任何永久父母簽證都涉及依其自身規則和收費提出的獨立申請。

870 visa 的政府收費是多少？#

此處列出的政府收費，主申請人為 $12,150。無論由誰遞交申請，該政府收費都相同。註冊移民代理或律師也可能就其工作另收專業費用。

父母可以持 870 簽證在澳洲工作嗎？#

Visa conditions are set out in the grant notice and can change over time, so the exact conditions need to be checked on the granted visa. Work rights are not something to assume from another visa held in the past. The grant notice and VEVO record are the practical sources to check for the conditions attached to the current visa.
