As the two-shot vaccination rate in Australia gradually approaches 80%, Australia has slowly relaxed travel restrictions. The first is the exemption for international travelers. Some time ago, Australia announced that starting from November 1, parents of Australian adult citizens or PRs can apply for entry exemption to visit their children in Australia. This news was officially updated on the official website of the Immigration Bureau today.
入境豁免概况
Generally speaking, direct relatives of Australian citizens or PRs, such as spouses, de facto marriage partners, children, and parents, all fall into this category.
If they are in China but already have an Australian visa, they can directly apply for an entry exemption to return to Australia. However, if the relatives do not have an Australian visa, they still need to apply for an Australian visa first, and then apply for an entry exemption to return to Australia after signing.
Eduglobal Melbourne will take you to see how the official website of the Australian Immigration Service guides you to apply for entry exemption:
(1) First, confirm a concept, what is an adult citizen or PR parent?
Answer: Biological parents, legal parents (including adoptive parents), stepparents, parents-in-law, and parents-in-law are all counted as parents of adult citizens or PRs.
(2) Having clarified this concept, let’s see what materials need to be prepared to apply for entry exemption?
Answer: A. Proof of identity of an adult citizen or PR, this can include a citizenship certificate, or a PR IMMI Grant Visa Letter.
B. Proof of the relationship between the exemption applicant and an adult citizen or PR, such as a notarial certificate of kinship or a birth certificate.
