Are you the last remaining family member living outside Australia? Reuniting with your loved ones through a Remaining Relative Visa may be the life-changing opportunity you need. At Maison Migration Services, we specialise in family sponsorship visa applications and are here to guide you through every step of the process with care, clarity, and expertise.
We provide full assistance with both types of Remaining Relative Visas:
Remaining Relative visa (subclass 115) – for applicants outside Australia
Remaining Relative visa (subclass 835) – for applicants inside Australia
✅ What is a Remaining Relative Visa?
A Remaining Relative Visa is a permanent residency visa that allows eligible individuals to migrate to Australia to join their last remaining close family members. These visas are ideal for individuals who do not have any immediate family living outside Australia and want to live in Australia permanently with family.
🧾 Eligibility Criteria – Are You Eligible to Apply?
To apply for a Remaining Relative Visa, you must:
Be sponsored by an eligible Australian citizen, permanent resident, or eligible New Zealand citizen
Be the sibling, step-sibling, or child of your sponsor
Have no other near relatives living outside Australia
Not be married or in a de facto relationship
Pass the health and character checks
Be in or outside Australia based on the visa subclass
Maison Migration Services will conduct a full eligibility check to ensure you meet the requirements for a successful outcome.
