If you have a family member or relative who is over 18 years old, an Australian citizen or permanent resident living in Australia, and is willing to sponsor you, you may be eligible to migrate to Australia from Singapore under one of the Family Migration Programs.

Partner Migration

If you intend to or carrying on a marital relationship with an Australian PR or citizen, you may apply for a partner visa on producing verifiable documentary evidences in support of the continuous, loving and committed relationship.

Depending on the relationship, you may apply for a Prospective Marriage, Spousal or Interdependent visa.

  1. you need to be an Australian citizen/permanent resident or eligible New Zealand citizen;
  2. you have been resident in Australia for a minimum period of 2 years, and;
  3. your parent(s) passes the balance of family test (ie. 50% of your parent’s children must reside in Australia)

Whilst there is no age limit applicable for the parent visas, the health and character requirements will apply.

When approved, your parent will have full work rights, multiple re-entry travel facility as well as being able to access Medicare.
