The Child Visa 101 is for children under 18 years or over 18 of parents are residents or citizens of Australia. If you are the parent of a child who normally lives overseas and does not have a Child Visa 101 for Australia, you may be able to apply for the Child Visa 101.
Getting a Child visa has many traps for the unwary and the Department treats every visa application very seriously. The Department MUST be sure the child is yours and that both parents agree that the child can migrate. A child that is over 18 has VERY strict rules on how to prove they are dependent on the parent and not just at the time of the application lodgment but also at the time the application is approved.
Watch the video to learn more about visa 445, 101, and 102. Our Migration Lawyer Hanh Ho reviews the visa process, common questions, issues and answers. In the video Hanh outlines key points and tips for applying for visas 445, 101, and 102.
There are options for both. In some cases the child must be outside Australia when the application is lodged and when the child visa application is decided. In other cases, the child can be in Australia to apply. This is great for the applicant as it means the child can be with the parent while waiting for the child visa. To know which case applies to your situation you will need to consult a Migration Agent.

The Department is very strict on BOTH parents agreeing that the child can come to Australia on a child visa. There are special forms to complete and there are ways to get around the situation where only one parent is on the birth certificate.
Many parents think its best to tell the Department the other parent is dead, missing or has never been involved in the child’s life. This is not going to help get a visa and is often the reason for a visa refusal as the Department demands a high level of proof about these issues.
Do not expect to get child visa easily if both parents do not agree on the child moving to Australia. The Department is very good at finding the truth, if you have any issues getting permission or finding the other parent please contact our Lawyer and Migration Agent Hanh Ho for advice +61 04 06 888 639.
The sponsor must be the parent of the child. The sponsor also has the responsibility to financially support the child in Australia.
You cannot get a Child Visa 101 before an adoption process is finalised. Adoption is not an immigration or visa matter as it is managed through State governments in Australia.
Sometimes the Department does require DNA tests. However, we can guide you on these. Do not be afraid, if you are sure the child is yours, you have nothing to worry about.
Visa application times vary depending on the amount of applications the Department receives but the average time is 6 to 12 months.
