Orphan Relative Visa

[Some&Fin]

Hi all

 

Has anyone on here ever brought over a child on the orphan relative visa? It might be something I have to do in the future and was wondering if anyone had any advice or experience of it.

 

Thanks in advance.

No sorry no knowledge, but I imagine it works like the last remaining family member type visa.

Hello Lisa

 

I have no experience or advice to offer. I just want to say that I am very, very sorry to hear that it may become necessary.

 

I assume that you have read the stuff on the DIAC website about this visa? If not, the links are here:

The stuff about Assurances of Support (though that does not seem to be mandatory) is here:
