澳大利亞家庭簽證概述

“家庭簽證”的總稱並不具體，而是指澳大利亞境內外的申請人可以使用的各種簽證類型，其中一名家庭成員（澳大利亞公民、永久居民或符合條件的紐西蘭公民）願意擔保他們的簽證申請。 

隨後，有一系列簽證可供不同情況和地點的申請人使用。這些簽證包括：

• 收養簽證（102類）
• 兒童簽證（101類/802類）
• 老年受撫養親屬簽證（114類/838類）
• Carer visa (subclass 116/subclass 836)
• 剩餘親屬簽證（115類）

此外，對於有伴侶或子女永久定居於澳洲的個人而言，也可以申請其他類型的簽證（伴侶簽證/父母簽證）。

澳大利亞家庭簽證對申請人有益，而不僅僅是為分居的家庭成員提供團聚。由於大多數家庭簽證是永久性的，而不是臨時的，申請人通常被允許無限期地留在澳大利亞，在澳大利亞工作和學習，並參加澳大利亞的公共醫療保健計劃（Medicare），因為申請人被視為永久居民。如果符合條件，申請人也有機會申請澳大利亞公民身份。

雖然這些福利對許多申請人很有吸引力，並且眾多類別提供了一系列情況，但可能很難確定哪種簽證類型是合適的，應該申請什麼簽證類型。如果申請人或其家人面臨這一挑戰，或者他們需要更多資訊和指導，他們應該考慮聯繫澳大利亞移民代理以協助他們提交申請。

Carer Visa (Subclass 116/836) Sponsor Requirements

To sponsor a Carer visa applicant, your Australian relative generally needs to show they have a long-term or permanent medical condition requiring ongoing care, that no other reasonably accessible care option exists in Australia (from family, friends, or community/welfare services), and that they can support the applicant financially for at least the first two years. Medical evidence assessing the sponsor's condition and care needs, typically through an approved medical assessment, is a core part of the application.

Remaining Relative and Aged Dependent Relative Visa Eligibility

The Remaining Relative visa (subclass 115) generally requires the applicant to have no near relatives (other than the sponsor) living outside Australia; this is often called the "balance of family" test. The Aged Dependent Relative visa (subclass 114/838) requires the applicant to be of pension age (or older) and financially dependent on their Australian relative for a reasonable period before applying. Both are assessed individually against strict criteria, so it's worth confirming your eligibility before applying given how long these subclasses take to process.

影響家庭簽證處理時間的因素

申請人提交申請后，應注意，申請的處理時間可能會因多種不同因素而有所不同。

在撰寫本文時，家庭類別下可用的簽證名額數量與對這些簽證類型日益增長的需求之間存在差距。此外，由於家庭簽證的要求和費用不同，這將影響每個子類別提交的申請數量。這導致了家庭簽證類型的申請積壓，並大大增加了處理時間。

此外，由於申請不完整或不充分，經常會出現延誤。除了 支付簽證申請費 和 提交正確的部門表格外，申請人通常還必須提供一系列證明文件來證實其申請中提出的要求。如果申請中出現錯誤、未能提供某些所需檔或提交不準確的材料，通常會導致申請需要額外的時間進行更正和重新提交。這大大增加了處理時間，並且由於一些家庭簽證申請需要通過郵件形式發送給該部門，因為它們不能親自或在線申請，因此情況更加嚴重。

同樣，該部有時可能需要更多時間來核實申請，或要求申請人滿足額外要求或答覆該部的來文。這可能涉及安全檢查、健康檢查或面談。這些程式可以進一步延長申請的處理時間。

While a registered migration agent cannot speed up the processing time of the Department, they can assist applicants making a ‘decision-ready’ application, that is correct, complete and accurate to minimise any avoidable delays.

當前處理時間

鑒於每個家庭簽證申請都要經過單獨評估，申請處理時間受到一系列因素的影響以及部門工作量的增加，因此很難準確預測任何申請將需要多長時間。

該部門確實在其網站上為一些應用程式提供了粗略的估計指南。申請人應該知道，這並不適用於每種簽證類型。在撰寫本報告時，該部門的估計數為：

• 兒童簽證（802 類/101 類）：50% 在 14-16 個月內處理，90% 在 23-29 個月內處理
• 收養簽證（102類）：50%在6個月內處理，90%在20個月內處理

重要的是，申請人承認，該部門提供的有關處理時間的信息是估計值，僅應用作參考點。

For Carer (subclass 116/subclass 838), Aged Dependent Relative (subclass 114/subclass 838) and Remaining Relative (subclass 115) visas applicants should be aware that these subclasses are subject to capping and queuing. This means that visa processing times for these subclasses can be longer.

Specific current processing time estimates for these capped and queued subclasses are not published by the Department in a form that could be confirmed for this article. Applicants should contact the Department directly, or a registered migration agent, for the most current guidance on expected wait times for their specific application.

申請人應注意，在提交申請后，移民局不會提供任何有關其申請狀態或進度的更新。

處理時間最終可能會發生變化，並且可能會因上述因素以及提出申請時可能出現的其他因素而有所不同。 澳大利亞移民代理 可以幫助減少一些延誤，但是，由於移民局獨立評估申請，申請過程本身需要時間才能完成。

Offshore vs Onshore Family Visa Australia

Most Family visa categories have both an offshore and onshore subclass pairing;for example, Carer (116 offshore/836 onshore) and Aged Dependent Relative (114 offshore/838 onshore). Whether you apply offshore or onshore depends on where you and your sponsor are located and your individual circumstances, and it can affect your bridging visa options and ability to remain in Australia while your application is processed. A registered migration agent can help you determine which pathway suits your situation.

加快處理時間的提示

由於協助各種申請人申請家庭簽證，澳大利亞移民代理確實提供了各種提示，可以加快處理申請所需的時間。

• 申請人在申請簽證之前應適當考慮他們的選擇，並確保他們有資格獲得所申請的簽證
• 申請人應讓自己有充裕的時間尋找保證人（家庭成員）、填寫所需表格和提供相關文件，以避免因疏忽而造成錯誤和遺漏
• 申請人應了解澳大利亞移民法律和政策的任何變化，並考慮他們的申請可能會受到任何變化的影響。
• 申請人應盡力及時回應本署的任何其他要求或查詢
• 申請人在提交申請后應重新考慮其申請，以確保他們沒有犯任何錯誤或未能提供任何證據。如果發現這種情況，他們應儘快通知該部門
• Where applicants are unsure in regards to any part of their application, they should engage the services of a registered migration agent to assist them in making a valid application
