Overview
What this visa gives you.
A Parent Visa allows the parents of citizens or permanent residents to relocate to their child's country of residence. Depending on the destination, options range from temporary renewable visas to direct permanent residency grants, though demand often results in significant processing queues. Some countries operate a balance-of-family test, requiring that the majority of an applicant's children reside in the destination country. Financial sponsorship by the child is a standard requirement across most parent visa programmes.
