Parent Visa
Hi There,
Does anyone know what the limit is for sponsoring under the Parent Visa ie I take it as a single child you are allowed to sponsor both parents, but what happens if both your parents have remarried for example, are you then allowed to sponsor 4 people?? ie both mother and father and step parents??

- you can demonstrate that you can meet multiple sponsorship obligations; and
- the balance of family test is met (note - spouse's children are also counted, so parents who have remarried might fail for this reason); and
- (a big if) you can sort out the Assurance of Support (AOS) issue. Contributory Parent requires a 10 year AOS and you *cannot* have an AOS over more than 2 adults at one time. Someone else can do the AOS, but generally only someone who is close family would sign up to this obligation.
