Subclass 887 applicant FAQ
You must be in Australia to apply.
You can receive the visa either outside Australia or inside Australia.
You can include all family members who were included in your subclass 489 application. You can also include spouses or de facto partners and financially dependent children under the age of 23 who were not included in your subclass 489 application.
There is a health waiver available if you can show circumstances which offset the costs of your health care such that it is not an “undue cost” to the community.
This is a permanent visa with a five-year travel facility. This means you can stay in Australia permanently but if you want to leave and return after five years you must apply for a resident return visa.
