Re: oap medical insurance
They would only be eligible to migrate if they meet the balance of family test and are sponsored by their child.
The fee for the parent contributory visa is around the figure mentioned so it sounds as if someone is confused about what this means.
It is not for 'medical insurance'.......a parent visa gives access to full medicare and work rights as with any other PR visa.....it is simply the fee for this particular class of visa.
It has nothing to do with being an OAP but more whether they meet the requirements for a parent visa.
A little bit more research is needed methinks.
