mppc Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 Hi everyone, I hoping for some advice regarding my sister. Is there any visa or way if sponsorship that I can do to allow my sister to emigrate? She's 42 no children. She lives with my father in ireland. I'm just trying to think ahead and make plans for the future and I know it isn't as easy as deciding to move especially at her age. Thank you.

Quoll Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 Not really. There is a last remaining relative visa (if you are her last remaining relative of course) but that has a waiting time of about 40-50 years I believe. Does she have a skill that she could apply for a permanent visa in her own right? If she did, then she would have to got the visa before she turned 45 and if your dad is still alive she probably wouldnt be wanting to leave him then anyway. Biggest question though is would she want to move? She has her life where she is, she might not want to leave all her friends and all that she knows to move to the other side of the world where she knows you and that's it. She'd probably end up quite impoverished too - I assume she would work for a few years but that wouldnt be enough to help her generate a decent income for retirement so she might have to work well beyond retirement age just to pay the bills. Perhaps better to let her sort her own life out at this stage (unless, of course she is incapable of that in which case you are going to struggle getting a visa for her anyway if she has a disability) than trying to shoehorn her into your life. Best advice, if she wants to move she needs to talk to a MARA registered agent and see what her options are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tulip1 Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 She would need to qualify for a visa in her own right. Suggest she looks at the skills list and goes from there. If her occupation isn’t on that then unfortunately she’s just one of many thousands that cannot get a visa. There’s a last remaining visa but she lives with her dad so wouldn’t qualify for that visa anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FirstWorldProblems Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 If she has money or access to money, then the Business Innovation & Investment Provisional Visas (subclass 188) could be a viable route. https://immi.homeaffairs.gov.au/visas/getting-a-visa/visa-listing/business-innovation-and-investment-188 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
