If you are considering applying for a child visa, here is an overview of everything you need to know when it comes to applying for a child visa. We will discuss the different types of child visas, the requirements for each, the cost of child visa 101 and the cost of child visa 802 associated with each. Also, to be successful, here are some tips and advice to help make the process as smooth and successful as possible.

Why do you need a child visa?

If you want to bring a child to Australia for a temporary visit or if you’d like to sponsor a child to live in Australia, you will need to obtain a child visa. The type of visa required depends on the visit's purpose and the stay's length. For example, a Child subclass 101 visa is required for children coming to Australia to live with their parents permanently.

In contrast, a child visa subclass 802 visa is required for children to come to Australia temporarily for a holiday or to study. It is important to note that the requirements and costs associated with each type of child visa may vary depending on the child's age, nationality and purpose of travel.

How much does a child visa cost?

The cost of a child visa will depend on the type of visa you are applying for. Generally, a child visa can range from $535 to $1,285. This cost is for a 12-month stay in Australia.

The Child visa is more expensive and costs $1,285 per person. This visa allows the holder to stay permanently in Australia. The cost includes the application fee and additional charges such as an “Additional Applicant charge” if more than one applicant is included on the application.

It is important to note that the cost of a child visa may vary depending on your situation. If you are applying for a longer stay, you may be required to pay additional fees. If your visa application is refused, you may be entitled to a refund of some or the entire application fee. It is also important to consider any other costs associated with your child’s visa, such as medical examinations, translation services and character assessments.

It is always recommended to seek professional advice from a qualified migration agent to ensure that you understand the cost involved in applying for a child visa.

• Cost of Child Visa 101 and Cost of Child Visa 802

The cost of a child visa 101 can vary depending on the type and duration of the visa. Generally, the fees for a temporary visa for a child (subclass 101 or 802) will range from AUD 140 to AUD 365. This includes the visa application charge and the costs associated with providing biometrics (if applicable).

The fees for permanent visas for children (subclass 101 or 802) range from AUD 2,485 to AUD 3,085. This includes the visa application charge, costs associated with providing biometrics, if applicable, and other associated costs.

In addition to these fees, there may also be other charges that need to be paid, such as medical check-ups, police checks, health insurance and more. It is important to check with the Department of Home Affairs for the most up-to-date fees associated with applying for a child visa.

Finally, keep in mind that if you are applying for an Australian permanent visa for your child, they may also be required to pay a bond to the Australian government. This bond is refundable when the child reaches the age of 18 or when they become an Australian citizen, whichever comes first.
