Child Visa Australia is a way for the children of Australian citizens and permanent residents to migrate to and grab the chance to live, work and even study indefinitely in the country. It broadly provides two subclasses for applicants to choose from. One is, 802 visa Australia which is for the candidates residing offshore, and the other one is, visa 101 Australia which is the route for the candidates already residing onshore. Although Australian visa types are way too many, this is the most appropriate for parents who wish to reunite with their children.
