Subclass 143 — Contributory Parent visa
Permanent visa for parents who meet the balance-of-family test, with a much faster queue than the non-contributory 103 in exchange for a substantially higher cost: the charge is paid in two instalments, the second of which is around $49,000 per applicant — check the official estimator. Queues are still measured in years.
