Bringing Your Family to Australia: Guide for Nigerians and Africans

For many Nigerians and Africans who migrate to Australia, the dream isn’t complete until their loved ones can join them. Whether you’re on a student visa, work visa, or Permanent Residency (PR), there are visa pathways to bring your family members over.

Afrovo supports clients in choosing the right family visa, ensuring fast processing and minimal stress.

Who You Can Bring to Australia

As a Student Visa Holder

  • Dependants (spouse/partner, children) can apply to join you

  • Partners may work (hours depend on your course level)

  • Children must attend school (you’ll need to arrange enrolment)

As a Temporary Skilled Visa Holder

  • Include eligible family members in your application

  • They can live, work, and study in Australia while your visa is valid

As a PR Holder or Citizen

  • Can sponsor:

    • Partner or spouse

    • Dependent children

    • Certain parents (via parent visa streams)

    • Other eligible relatives in special circumstances

 

Key Steps in the Family Sponsorship Process

  • Choose the Right Visa: Options depend on your visa status and relationship

  • Prepare Documents: Birth/marriage certificates, relationship proof, financial records

  • Lodge the Application: Either offshore or onshore, depending on circumstances

  • Meet Health & Character Checks: Required for all applicants
