ST GEORGE SHIRE STANDARD
Temporary sponsored parent visas delayed for two years by Federal Government

MULTICULTURAL mums and dads have been left in the lurch for more than two years as the Federal Government dithers about temporary sponsored parent visas.
Prime Minister Scott Morrison and Immigration Minister David Coleman had little to say about the lack of progress on enhanced visitor visas which would allow migrants’ parents to stay with their families in Australia for extended periods when they visited Hurstville in Mr Coleman’s electorate on Thursday.

“That’s an issue I’ve been looking at since becoming Immigration Minister, I’ve been discussing it with the Department and we’ll have more to say about that shortly,” Mr Coleman said.
The Prime Minister previously announced in his 2017-18 budget visa sponsors would have to pay a non-refundable fee of up to $20,000 for the full 10-year visa option.
The number of visas would also be capped at 15,000 and limited to one set of parents per household, leaving families to choose which of their sets of parents were permitted to take the long-term visa.
Mr Coleman was non-committal when the St George Shire Standard asked if the large fee was realistic for residents in working class multicultural communities such as Hurstville.
“It’s about creating opportunities for families to bring parents out for that temporary period, it’s an important area and something we’ll have more to say about shortly.,” Mr Coleman said.
The Prime Minister was more succinct about the policy delay.
“There’s a bit more work to do there,” Mr Morrison admitted. |
