The Remaining Relative visa is intended for individuals seeking permanent residency based on their status as the last remaining family member of an Australian citizen, Australian permanent resident, or eligible New Zealand citizen.
To sponsor someone for the Remaining Relative Visa, the sponsor must be over 18 years old and considered “settled” in Australia, typically requiring a residence of at least the last two years. The applicant should have no living brothers, sisters, or parents outside Australia. If the applicant is married or in a de facto relationship, their spouse must also not have any brothers, sisters, or parents residing outside Australia.
