Compared with Australia's 103 queue for parents immigration visa processing cycle, 143 visa and 173 visa processing time is shorter, parents and children can be reunited as soon as possible.
Generally speaking, the permanent residence visa (CONTRIBUTORY PARENT VISA) can be divided into two categories: permanent residence visa for donated parents and temporary visa for donated parents.
Unlike Australia's 143 donor-parent immigration visa, which requires a one-off payment of all contributions, 173 visas can be paid in two instalments, which can be converted to permanent residence visas when the remaining contributions are paid within two years after receiving the 173 visa. After obtaining a permanent residence visa, the applicant will directly enjoy the Australian National Health Insurance system (Medicare), 60 years of age or older parents can apply for SeniorCard and Myki bus card, but other social insurance or subsidies need to wait another two years. Old-age pension benefits will have to wait 10 years before they are available.
