If I settle in Australia, can my family join me according to visa rules?
Yes, if you become an Australian citizen or permanent resident, you can sponsor your family to join you under several visa categories. Common options include:
- Partner visas for your spouse or partner
- Parent visas for your parents
- Child visas for dependent or adopted children
- Other family visas for certain relatives
Each visa type has its own eligibility requirements, process, and typical waiting times, which are subject to change.
