Contributory Parent Visa Subclass 173

A Parent Visa Subclass 173 is a specialized visa introduced by the government of Australia. The visa covers the ‘contributory’ parents of an Australian PR visa holder or an Australian or eligible New Zealander citizen. The visa is temporary and lets them stay for two years in the country. The application cost is slightly higher than other dependent visas, but the rules will be the same. You can only apply to the Contributory Parent Visa Subclass 173 if you hold a Temporary subclass 870 visa.
