Aged Dependent Relative Visa (Subclass 114)

This visa was permanently closed to new applications on 2 June 2014. No further applications for this visa can be made. This is for reference only.

The Aged Dependent Relative Visa (Subclass 114) is a permanent visa that allows some older people who meet age requirements to migrate to Australia if they rely on an eligible relative in Australia to provide financial support.

To be eligible for this visa, applicants must :

• be sponsored by a relative or partner who lives in Australia
• demonstrate that  they have been wholly or substantially dependent on the relative in Australia for financial support for basic needs of food, shelter and clothing or because they have a disability which prevents them from working. This support must have been continuing for at least three (3) years.
• meet the age requirements
• not have a spouse or de facto partner
• have someone who will provide an assurance of support
• meet health and character requirements.

Successful applicants are granted a permanent visa. It allows the holder and family to:

• stay in Australia indefinitely as an Australian permanent resident
• travel to and from Australia as a permanent resident for five  (5)years from the date the visa is granted
