The Australian government will introduce visa concessions so parent visa applicants don’t have to leave the country to get their visa approved during the coronavirus pandemic.

The parents and parents-in-law of Melbourne-based couple Can Liu and Julie Jin, from China, have been in Australia since May last year and are applying for a contributory parent visa.Julie said her parents-in-law Dong Liu and Lixia Wang had been concerned about flying out of Australia to complete the final step in the parent visa process.

In the past, applicants would often travel to Australia to see their loved ones, and take short-trips or holidays overseas to have visas approved. “The Government is pursuing changes to allow certain parent visa applicants who have applied for their visa outside Australia to be granted that visa while in Australia during the COVID-19 period,” he said.
