Visas for parents

Australia recognises the need for a family with dependent members to be together. The family migration scheme allows Australian citizens, permanent residents and eligible New Zealand citizens to sponsor their close family members to join them temporarily or permanently in Australia.

Family-sponsored visa applicants are typically parents with one or more children residing in Australia who act as sponsors. You can apply for this visa from outside Australia or once you’re in the country. At Australian Education and Visa Centre, we can help find the most efficient pathway to reunite your family.

Most people are struggling to stay in this country as visa terms because we are one of Austraila's foreigners. When you find an agency that helps you stay away from visa conditions while you study or work, a few of us have the experience that agency gives you wrong information or to be rude to you. Also I was paying for them before and I was disappointed. However, when I talked to the AEV centre, I felt different from others. Now I am still satisfied with them for three years. Thank you AEV :)

Its not often these days that you immediately feel like the most important person in the store, but that is how I felt when I walked through the door of the AEV Centre in Southport. I was greeted with a friendly smile and ushered to comfortable seats where I waited briefly for my appointment.Paul Kwons Offices are clean and fresh and as I glanced at his Certificates of achievements on the wall, I started to relax realising I was in qualified hands.I have lived in Australia for many years but realised I would need guaranteed support in my ageing years. I had tried a couple of on-line Visa Application options but had always run into one snag or another, I was starting to loose my patience.A friend encouraged me to seek professional help and I am happy to say the AEV Centre in Southport satisfied all my requirements and also had a open appointment for me when I was free.During our first meeting Paul mapped out the application procedure and created profiles and payment methods, it was dark before I left his office that first meeting but his smile never faded. I saw Paul at least two more times to confirm details and drop off paperwork as he asked for it, often his confirmation E mails would arrive well into the evening and I appreciated his assistance greatly.At my last visit he pressed the enter button and submitted my completed application. "This could take a while", was his last comment.I am excited to share that after seven months the Ministry has granted my application and I am well on the way to gaining Australian Citizenship.Many thanks to the Paul Kwon and his lovely staff at the Southport AEV Centre.

I've always been asked why I paid for an agent when I can process the application myself. My answer? Because my knowledge is only as much as I know. Working with Paul has made my entire journey a breeze. He makes you feel that he is not just a professional working with you but rather a friend who is there to answer your questions and doubts. He also is there anytime my nerves get to me when I am losing patience while waiting. He also lets you know important things that you have not even thought of as being important. His knowledge and qualification has made my application smooth and easy. He doesn't make you do things without an explanation and he makes sure you understand and know what you are up to. The cost of visa is no joke, if you have already spent for it, might as well spend a bit more to make sure that you are doing the right thing. With Paul, I can give my assurance that you are dealing with a genuine and honest person whose intention to get your visa is as high as yours. 5 stars recommendation.

Massive Thank you to Sarah and Kate for being such an outstanding agents. It was a tedious process however they are very passionate and knowledgeable, very detailed and patient. We’re beyond words in expressing our gratitude and they ended our 2019 with so much joy. Merry Christmas to everyone working in this amazing agency. And more prosperous 2020. x

AEV has been helping me with processing the required visas from the get go since I came to Australia and got married. Even though there was a little time to apply for required visas, they managed to do it! And from then on they worked hard on on all the procedures and applications to get me permanent residency through bridging visas, partners visas till i got my permanent residency. Always friendly and ready to meet my requirements and working hard to get all in the shortest possible time. Overall, trustworthy and loyal and that's why I go back for help with any immigration issues..

The staff was friendly and efficient.My agent, Paul, was very helpful. He explained it to me well how the visa applications works and helped throughout the application process. He was empathetic with my situation, he faithfully assured me when I was having my worries about my application and the waiting period. He constantly reminded me that he's always available if I have any questions.Overall, Paul greatly represented and looked after his clients. I definitely recommend Paul to anyone who's needing an agent and migration adviser.Thank you very much again Paul for working with me! :)

My partner and I have just completed the first stage in obtaining permanent residence Subclass 820 Visa for her in Australia and with the expert advise and assistance from Paul and his team at the Australian Education & Visa Centre it has been a reasonably easy and pleasing experience, to undertake this task without the assistance and expert advise from the Australian Education & Visa Centre would have been a very difficult task and may have end with a disappointing result.If anyone is considering applying for permanent residence in Australia for yourself or your partner I strongly urge you to consider getting advise and assistance from the Australian Education & Visa Centre and getting them to complete the application for you to ensure the best possible outcome.

Sarah is a highly skilled and a very competent Migration Agent. She performed a very thorough job and ensured our application was accurate and flawless. Sarah spent a lot of time perfecting our application and, thanks to her attention to detail, we obtained the Visa in a very small amount of time, and in a lot less than expected. I could not recommend her and AEV centre more

Sarah helped me get one of my visas approved during one of the hardest times in my life when I thought that there's no way that I can get all the steps done in time. And just recently I got approved of a visa that usually takes a year or two but we got it in less than 7 months. I will be forever grateful for all her efforts and she has been an instrument for my life to be changed in a wonderful and exciting way. I will definitely recommend her to my friends and family. She is very efficient in her work and is realistic when she gives advise regarding the necessary steps that needs to be taken for the visa processing. All the best to the AEV team.

Six years ago, Paul guided us through the process of applying for a 143 visa. At that time processing was only supposed to take 18 months. We assume a hesitant Government together with the outbreak of Covid resulted in a very delayed outcome, however, setting that aside, today we’re happy to advise that the visa has been granted.Paul is extremely knowledgeable and carries much experience in the area of visa’s, we would highly recommend his services….Roman & Rita

Sarah helped out with my partner visa magnificently! I visited 3 visa agents before we found Sarah and they all said I have to apply a student visa for at least a year before going for a partner visa because our relationship wasn’t long enough. When we were about to give up on a partner visa, two of my friends who also applied for a partner visa with Sarah recommended her. She told us that to be able to apply it and she helped out with every process in time before my current visa expired. Now I got a permanent visa.I couldn’t have got married to my partner and there wouldn’t have been my life in Australia if I didn't meet her.Highly recommend her! Just talk with her before you give up. It's really worth it.

On 20th July this month, Paul submitted my application to Australian Immigration. Just one week later, today 27th July, I received the notification that my visa application was successful. I would like to thank Pual for being very professional, conscientious and thorough, and for making me feel safe and secure, and Paul's team member Kate for being patient and warm. Thank you for the honor of meeting Paul and his team!

Since 2012, Sarah Lim has assisted me with 6 visa applications including the last PR visa which has been successfully granted. She has got 10+ years experience in terms of migration and visa applications and she has never failed it one single occasion. Absolutely professional and most importantly extremely thorough - so be ready for her being perfectionist. She will ask you A to Z documents and consider every circumstances to make your visa applications successful. If you are looking for a migration agent with tons of experience and professional attitudes, I strongly recommend to see Sarah Lim from AEV centre.In addition to Sarah’s hardworking efforts, I should not forget to mention Kate Lee’s assistance. Kate has been always friendly, often giving advice to me as a sister from neighborhood with caring attitudes which has helped a lot when I was a student. Thank you Kate as well.

Most people are struggling to stay in this country as visa terms because we are one of Austraila's foreigners. When you find an agency that helps you stay away from visa conditions while you study or work, a few of us have the experience that agency gives you wrong information or to be rude to you. Also I was paying for them before and I was disappointed. However, when I talked to the AEV centre, I felt different from others. Now I am still satisfied with them for three years. Thank you AEV :)

Its not often these days that you immediately feel like the most important person in the store, but that is how I felt when I walked through the door of the AEV Centre in Southport. I was greeted with a friendly smile and ushered to comfortable seats where I waited briefly for my appointment.Paul Kwons Offices are clean and fresh and as I glanced at his Certificates of achievements on the wall, I started to relax realising I was in qualified hands.I have lived in Australia for many years but realised I would need guaranteed support in my ageing years. I had tried a couple of on-line Visa Application options but had always run into one snag or another, I was starting to loose my patience.A friend encouraged me to seek professional help and I am happy to say the AEV Centre in Southport satisfied all my requirements and also had a open appointment for me when I was free.During our first meeting Paul mapped out the application procedure and created profiles and payment methods, it was dark before I left his office that first meeting but his smile never faded. I saw Paul at least two more times to confirm details and drop off paperwork as he asked for it, often his confirmation E mails would arrive well into the evening and I appreciated his assistance greatly.At my last visit he pressed the enter button and submitted my completed application. "This could take a while", was his last comment.I am excited to share that after seven months the Ministry has granted my application and I am well on the way to gaining Australian Citizenship.Many thanks to the Paul Kwon and his lovely staff at the Southport AEV Centre.

A HUGE thank you to Kate at AEV. She helped me apply for my student visa and course with Academique. We applied at the end of August and was granted at the end of November. It was a simple 3 month process. Kate was very helpful and informative throughout and prompt with keeping me up to date. Highly recommend AEV for all students of any nationality!

Paul has been very helpful and friendly in assisting me and partner for her visa application. I have no idea how these things work but with a single meeting with him, I kind of now understand what I should be expecting. Thank you Paul for the assistance. We really appreciate everything you have done to help us have an easy and straight forward application. Highly recommended.

I've always been asked why I paid for an agent when I can process the application myself. My answer? Because my knowledge is only as much as I know. Working with Paul has made my entire journey a breeze. He makes you feel that he is not just a professional working with you but rather a friend who is there to answer your questions and doubts. He also is there anytime my nerves get to me when I am losing patience while waiting. He also lets you know important things that you have not even thought of as being important. His knowledge and qualification has made my application smooth and easy. He doesn't make you do things without an explanation and he makes sure you understand and know what you are up to. The cost of visa is no joke, if you have already spent for it, might as well spend a bit more to make sure that you are doing the right thing. With Paul, I can give my assurance that you are dealing with a genuine and honest person whose intention to get your visa is as high as yours. 5 stars recommendation.

AEV has been helping me with processing the required visas from the get go since I came to Australia and got married. Even though there was a little time to apply for required visas, they managed to do it! And from then on they worked hard on on all the procedures and applications to get me permanent residency through bridging visas, partners visas till i got my permanent residency. Always friendly and ready to meet my requirements and working hard to get all in the shortest possible time. Overall, trustworthy and loyal and that's why I go back for help with any immigration issues..

The staff was friendly and efficient.My agent, Paul, was very helpful. He explained it to me well how the visa applications works and helped throughout the application process. He was empathetic with my situation, he faithfully assured me when I was having my worries about my application and the waiting period. He constantly reminded me that he's always available if I have any questions.Overall, Paul greatly represented and looked after his clients. I definitely recommend Paul to anyone who's needing an agent and migration adviser.Thank you very much again Paul for working with me! :)

My partner and I have just completed the first stage in obtaining permanent residence Subclass 820 Visa for her in Australia and with the expert advise and assistance from Paul and his team at the Australian Education & Visa Centre it has been a reasonably easy and pleasing experience, to undertake this task without the assistance and expert advise from the Australian Education & Visa Centre would have been a very difficult task and may have end with a disappointing result.If anyone is considering applying for permanent residence in Australia for yourself or your partner I strongly urge you to consider getting advise and assistance from the Australian Education & Visa Centre and getting them to complete the application for you to ensure the best possible outcome.

Sarah is a highly skilled and a very competent Migration Agent. She performed a very thorough job and ensured our application was accurate and flawless. Sarah spent a lot of time perfecting our application and, thanks to her attention to detail, we obtained the Visa in a very small amount of time, and in a lot less than expected. I could not recommend her and AEV centre more

Sarah helped me get one of my visas approved during one of the hardest times in my life when I thought that there's no way that I can get all the steps done in time. And just recently I got approved of a visa that usually takes a year or two but we got it in less than 7 months. I will be forever grateful for all her efforts and she has been an instrument for my life to be changed in a wonderful and exciting way. I will definitely recommend her to my friends and family. She is very efficient in her work and is realistic when she gives advise regarding the necessary steps that needs to be taken for the visa processing. All the best to the AEV team.

Six years ago, Paul guided us through the process of applying for a 143 visa. At that time processing was only supposed to take 18 months. We assume a hesitant Government together with the outbreak of Covid resulted in a very delayed outcome, however, setting that aside, today we’re happy to advise that the visa has been granted.Paul is extremely knowledgeable and carries much experience in the area of visa’s, we would highly recommend his services….Roman & Rita

Sarah helped out with my partner visa magnificently! I visited 3 visa agents before we found Sarah and they all said I have to apply a student visa for at least a year before going for a partner visa because our relationship wasn’t long enough. When we were about to give up on a partner visa, two of my friends who also applied for a partner visa with Sarah recommended her. She told us that to be able to apply it and she helped out with every process in time before my current visa expired. Now I got a permanent visa.I couldn’t have got married to my partner and there wouldn’t have been my life in Australia if I didn't meet her.Highly recommend her! Just talk with her before you give up. It's really worth it.

On 27th June 2023, with the help of Paul, I got the offer from Bond University, then with the help of Paul and Kate from AUSTRALIAN EDUCATION VISA CENTRE, I started to prepare my application documents for the Student 500 Visa. On 20th July this month, Paul submitted my application to Australian Immigration. Just one week later, today 27th July, I received the notification that my visa application was successful. I would like to thank Pual for being very professional, conscientious and thorough, and for making me feel safe and secure, and Paul's team member Kate for being patient and warm. Thank you for the honor of meeting Paul and his team!

Since 2012, Sarah Lim has assisted me with 6 visa applications including the last PR visa which has been successfully granted. She has got 10+ years experience in terms of migration and visa applications and she has never failed it one single occasion. Absolutely professional and most importantly extremely thorough - so be ready for her being perfectionist. She will ask you A to Z documents and consider every circumstances to make your visa applications successful. If you are looking for a migration agent with tons of experience and professional attitudes, I strongly recommend to see Sarah Lim from AEV centre.In addition to Sarah’s hardworking efforts, I should not forget to mention Kate Lee’s assistance. Kate has been always friendly, often giving advice to me as a sister from neighborhood with caring attitudes which has helped a lot when I was a student. Thank you Kate as well.
