Original PR of my family (self, spouse and our kids)expired in 2020 and since then I alone had applied and granted RRV till date. Upon next renewal, I wish to also apply RRV for my son who is now 16 years old, so that he can pursue studies in Australia. We are currently in India and he has not been to Australia in last 5 years. Should I wait for my visa to be granted first and then apply for my son or should we apply together as a Group Processing? Kindly advice

Why not just get him a Student Visa of his own?

Thanks for your response. But wouldn't a student visa more expensive than RRV?
Plus it could impact the tuition fee as well if studying as a resident and could get his own residency/citizenship much easier way?

You don't get apply for a visa based on price.
You apply for the visa that is most suitable
for your intent and your circumstances.

I do not recommend lying on the application to save a bit of money here or there.
