884 Visa: Contributory Aged Parent Visa (Subclass 884)
The contributory aged parent (temporary) visa, otherwise known as the subclass 884 visa, allows parents to live in Australia for two years.
After this, if parents wish to remain in the country, they can apply for a contributory aged parent visa (864). The subclass 864 visa provides permanent residency and the application for this must be lodged before the temporary 884 expires.
