Assistance for Your Next Steps in Australia

Navigating Your Future in Australia with Confidence and Clarity

Assistance for Permanent Residents

As a permanent visa holder in Australia, you have already taken a significant step toward securing your future in this beautiful country. But whether you’re planning to apply for citizenship, need to renew your Resident Return Visa, or wish to sponsor a child or parent to join you, navigating the immigration process can still be complex and challenging. At Immi Response, we provide comprehensive support tailored to your specific needs, ensuring that your next steps are as smooth and stress-free as possible.

Our Services for Australian Residents

Resident Return Visa (RRV) Assistance

Your permanent visa allows you to live in Australia indefinitely, but it doesn’t guarantee re-entry if you travel overseas. If your travel facility has expired or is nearing expiration, you must apply for a Resident Return Visa (RRV) to maintain your permanent resident status. Our RRV Assistance service helps you confirm eligibility, gather documents, and prepare a compelling application that demonstrates your ongoing ties to Australia, ensuring your re-entry rights are secured so you can travel with peace of mind.

Citizenship Application Assistance

Becoming an Australian citizen is a significant milestone that represents your formal integration into the Australian community and commitment to its values. The process involves meeting residency requirements, passing a citizenship test, and demonstrating your alignment with Australian principles. Our Citizenship Application Assistance service supports you through every step, from confirming your eligibility to preparing for the test and submitting your application. We ensure you have the best chance of success as you take this important step toward securing your future in Australia.

Child and Parent Visa Services

This service help Australian citizens, permanent residents, or eligible New Zealand citizens reunite with their families in Australia. Whether you want to bring your children (under 18 or dependent up to 25) or sponsor your parents, we provide comprehensive support throughout the process. Navigating these visas can be complex, with strict criteria, extensive documentation, and long processing times. Our team guides you in choosing the right visa, preparing a strong application, and presenting your case effectively to the Department of Home Affairs, so you can focus on being together.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Really clear and efficient service. Made me feel comfortable from the first call.

Ieva was very helpful through the whole process and even more impressive with her presentations for the application that played a key part in the approval. If I had done it myself, I wouldn’t have had the same result.

Highly recommend to anyone, have already referred friends.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. PLEASE DON'T GO ANYWHERE ELSE, THE BEST AGENTS YOU CAN FIND!

I can't begin to start how great my experience have been, I've lived in Australia for 10 years and have dealt with my fair share of agents who are up for a cash grab, unprofessional and extremely hard to get in touch with during the process.

Ieva, and her team is extremely professional, responds swiftly , great with managing and responding on or before time and very aware of your individual circumstances. Furthermore, they will give you clear timelines of when things are done, and they would adhere and deliver beyond without a doubt. I have always been made thoroughly aware of the progress and been given holistic counselling on the questions and doubts I had, given it can be overwhelming and complicated at times. Might I add that the services are very reasonably priced compared to the quality of the services provided.

I am forever grateful I found them on a random google search and it quite literary saved me in every facet.

Thanks again Ieva & Arya for your great service, humanity, professionalism & care during the whole journey. thank you for going beyond "just and Agent'' and providing hope, grace, and possibilities during a very demanding period.

Frequently asked questions

Dive into our FAQ for more details

What are the residency requirements for Australian citizenship?

To be eligible for Australian citizenship, you generally need to have lived in Australia on a valid visa for four years, including at least 12 months as a permanent resident. During this period, you must not have been outside of Australia for more than 12 months in total, with no more than 90 days spent abroad in the year immediately before your application. Exceptions and variations to these requirements may apply depending on your specific circumstances.

What is the Australian Citizenship Test, and how can I prepare for it?

The Australian Citizenship Test assesses your knowledge of Australia’s history, values, symbols, and the rights and responsibilities of being an Australian citizen. The test consists of 20 multiple-choice questions, and you must score at least 75% to pass. We recommend using the official study resource, the "Australian Citizenship: Our Common Bond" booklet, and practicing with sample questions. Our Citizenship Application Assistance service provides additional guidance and preparation materials to help you feel confident and ready for the test.

What types of child visas are available for children to join their parents in Australia?

The main types of child visas are the Child (subclass 101) visa for children outside Australia and the Child (subclass 802) visa for children already in Australia. These visas are available for children under 18 years of age, full-time students between 18 and 25 who are financially dependent on the sponsoring parent, or children with a disability who are dependent on the parent. Other options include the Adoption (subclass 102) visa and the Orphan Relative (subclass 117) visa for specific situations.

What are the main requirements for a child visa application in Australia?

To be eligible for a child visa, the child must be under 18 (or under 25 if financially dependent), single, and sponsored by a parent who is an Australian citizen, permanent resident, or eligible New Zealand citizen. The child must meet health and character requirements, and if only one parent is applying, they need written consent from the other parent or legal evidence of sole custody. Additionally, the sponsoring parent must be able to demonstrate the ability to support the child financially and provide adequate care in Australia.

What are the main types of parent visas available to bring parents to Australia?

The primary parent visa options are the Contributory Parent Visa (subclass 143) and the Non-Contributory Parent Visa (subclass 103). The Contributory Parent Visa requires a higher application fee but generally has a shorter processing time. The Non-Contributory Parent Visa has a lower fee but much longer processing times, often exceeding 20 years. The Temporary Sponsored Parent Visa (subclass 870) also allows parents to stay in Australia for up to 5 years without a long-term commitment to permanent residency.

What is the balance of family test, and why is it important for parent visa applications?

The balance of family test is a key eligibility requirement for most parent visas. It ensures that at least half of the parent’s children live in Australia as citizens or permanent residents, or that more of their children live in Australia than in any other single country. This test helps demonstrate the parent’s significant family ties to Australia. Meeting this requirement is crucial for a successful parent visa application.
