Can I apply from inside Australia?
Yes, you can apply for the visa 143 if you are already in Australia. However, when you receive the outcome of your visa, you have to be outside Australia, unless:
You hold or held a Temporary Contributory Parent Visa (Subclass 173) or a Substituted VisitorVisa (subclass 600) at the time of visa application and:
- You made the application before 24 March 2021.
- You were in Australia on 24 March 2021
-
You are a retiree.
Do sponsors have to provide assurance of support for visa 143?
Can I apply for the visa 143 as a retiree?
- On the date of 8 May 2018, you were holding or had previously held an Investor Retirement (subclass 405) visa or a Retirement (subclass 410), and
- Between the date of 8 May 2018 and the date you submitted the visa 143 application, you haven’t had another substantive visa.
What makes applying for a visa 143 as a retiree different is that:
- You don’t have to meet the Balance Of Family test.
- You do not need a sponsor nor an assurance of support.
