Immigrant families who want guarantee`s parents to stay in Australia for 10 years will be able to file their applications from April 17, federal immigrant minister Komin (David Coleman) said in a statement this week.

The temporary guarantee parents Immigration Visa (TSP) has an annual quota of 15,000, giving parents living abroad the opportunity to live in Australia for up to five consecutive years; After the expiration of these five years and a brief exit, you can reapply to live in Australia for another five years.

Mr Gao said there was strong interest in the new TSP visa and that authorities expected to receive a large number of applications from the outset.
Mr Gao said that although Labour was opposed to introducing the visa, it was approved by the Senate last year and government would continue to commit to the visa because "this new visa will ensure that thousands of immigrant families are likely to be reunited with their families." And bring great social benefits to families and society all over Australia. "
In addition, each immigrant family can grant two parents a guarantee TSP visa at a time, in order to ensure that more families across Australia have an opportunity for guarantee parents to come to Australia.

This ensures that Australia`s taxpayer does not have to bear additional costs.
Given that the TSP visa has been accepted since April 17, authorities called on immigrant families to submit their applications as soon as possible.
