We want to sponsor our 85-year-old father for permanent residency since there is nobody to look after him in our country. We are 3 siblings in Australia and 4 in NZ, can we sponsor him from Australia to stay with us?

Under which Visa or subclass of visa can we sponsor him? Will there be any balance of family test? How long will it take for him to get PR in Australia?

Any idea what the total cost will be to sponsor him?

Sorry to tell you that your father might not pass the balance of family test for permanent residency visa 143 because the majority of children of your father are living in NZ, but there is a way around it if you are prepared to wait for a long time.

The cost for sponsoring your father will depend on which path you choose to apply a permanent visa. it could be between $5000 to $ 55000.
