Bev Posted November 27, 2017 Report Share Posted November 27, 2017 Hi, My husband and I applied for a parent visa 173 in March 2015. Looking at the website, They are now a month away from working on our visa! our son has been living in Perth for 11 years and our daughter and grandchildren for 5 years. We have been back and forward 14 times!! So as you can imagine this visa can't come quick enough! We are wondering if its possible to buy a house outright with no mortgage on a 173 visa? Thanks in advance Bev Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clari Posted February 20, 2018 Report Share Posted February 20, 2018 (edited) Hi bev, just seen your post and thought would see if can gain some insight from your experience... i am looking at the contributory parent visas (subclass 173) for my parents, but prices seem so crazy! If you don't mind, would you tell me more info about your visa process... i.e, process times, which visas and the costs ? its all confusing! thanks in advance! clarity Edited February 20, 2018 by clari name Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bev Posted February 20, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2018 Hi Clarity, our visa got lodged in March 2015, we applied for temporary parent visa. It was finally granted in January 2018!! We paid £34,800 and to stay permanently , we have to apply within two years and pay the other half! Its a ridiculous amount of money but we want to be close to our children and be part of our grandchildren’s life instead of being ‘cyber grandparents’ I hope this is of any help. If you have any other questions, please feel free to message me. good luck x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
