A Dependent Visa is a visa that allows spouses and children to go to another country to accompany or join a family member with a corresponding Visa.
Depending on how the dependent visa is granted, the dependent can live with the primary applicant or travel and explore.
To apply for a visa on behalf of dependents, the applicant must prove that he has the funds to support the dependents and won't rely on state or public funds to take care of them.
Dependents must demonstrate that they plan to live with the primary applicant for the duration of their stay and that their relationship is authentic.
Children under 18 must demonstrate that they do not live independently and depend on the primary applicant for assistance.
Documents proving the relationship, such as a marriage certificate for a spouse and a birth certificate for children, are necessary.
The Dependent Visa program allows international students and professionals to call family members in Australia. Prasana International Consultancy can assist you in putting together a comprehensive application package that will speed up the arrival of your loved ones in Australia.
