付費類父母（臨時）簽證

此簽證的用途#

Australian Contributory Parent (Temporary) visa，subclass 173，是為期兩年的臨時父母簽證，是通往 143 的分階段途徑。它屬於 Parent stream。

This visa exists as a temporary stage for parents who want to move toward permanent residence through the Contributory Parent visa pathway. It lets a parent stay in Australia for the temporary visa period and then, if a further application is made and granted, continue to the permanent subclass 143 stage.

subclass 173 與永久父母簽證不同，因為它被設計為兩階段程序中的一步。人們常將它與 subclass 143 比較，因為 173 可以銜接到該簽證，但兩者是分開的申請，政府收費也分開。

通常適合哪些人#

這個簽證是給那些身為已定居澳洲公民、澳洲永久居民或符合資格的新西蘭公民之父母，並希望以兩階段的 contributory parent 路徑，而不是直接申請永久 subclass 143 的人。

此簽證適用於想先申請臨時父母簽證，之後再申請永久階段的人。常見於家庭希望把簽證流程分階段進行，而不是一開始就直接申請永久性的 contributory parent。

此簽證適用於 Parent 類別的人。雖然有些部門系統會把簽證歸在較廣泛的內部類別下，但本頁維護的資料列出的 category 是 partner，而 stream 是 Parent。

What it costs#

此處列出的此簽證政府簽證申請費為：

• 主申請人：$30,400
• 18歲或以上的附加申請人：$30,400

這些是簽證申請本身的政府收費。無論由誰遞交，政府收費都相同，不論是申請人、註冊移民代理，還是澳洲法律執業者。

Professional fees are separate. A registered migration agent or lawyer may charge for work such as checking identity and civil documents, preparing the application for lodgement, corresponding with the Department, monitoring deadlines, and helping gather further documents after lodgement. Those professional fees are not set by the government, so they can vary from one provider to another.

政府收費會按指數調整，通常於 1 July 變更。遞交前，明智的做法是查核申請遞交當日適用的現行收費。

在辦理過程中，也可能有其他自付費用，例如健康檢查、無犯罪紀錄證明、翻譯，以及如果舊紀錄需要重新簽發時的文件補發費。確切金額取決於涉及哪些文件，以及由哪些國家簽發。

需要多久時間#

Processing times for parent visas can be long, and the timeframe can change over time depending on queue levels, annual planning places, application volumes, and whether the Department asks for more information. For a staged parent visa like the subclass 173, the total pathway also needs to be looked at in two parts: the temporary stage and then the later permanent subclass 143 application.

A visa application can also take longer where identity documents are inconsistent, police clearances are delayed, health examinations expire and need to be repeated, or there are long gaps before requested documents are provided. Delays are also common where documents come from overseas authorities with slow issue times.

Department 會不時公布審理資訊，但父母簽證審理往往不僅受一般個案處理步驟影響，也受排隊管理影響。這表示即使申請完整，仍可能需要很長時間。

流程包含什麼#

流程通常從查核該部門目前要求、準備正確的申請表和支持文件，以及支付遞交時適用的政府費用開始。之後申請會進入該部門的處理系統。

Supporting documents commonly include identity documents, birth certificates, documents showing the parent-child relationship, and documents about the sponsoring child and their status in Australia. Depending on the circumstances, other records may also be required, such as marriage certificates, change of name documents, or documents explaining family composition.

遞交後，部門可能會要求提供更多資訊。這些要求通常涉及體檢、無犯罪紀錄證明、更新的身分文件，或在姓名、日期或家庭細節在各項紀錄間不一致時要求說明。

如果簽證獲批，這是一個為期兩年的臨時簽證。如果之後想透過分階段的 contributory parent 路徑繼續申請，永久子類別 143 是另一個之後的獨立申請，具有其自身要求、表格、收費及決定。

People who use a registered migration agent or Australian legal practitioner often use them to manage deadlines, upload documents in the correct place, and keep the application file consistent. VisaBid is a marketplace where registered migration agents and Australian legal practitioners can provide itemised quotes, so applicants can compare service levels and fees before choosing a provider.

常見問題#

A very common problem is incomplete evidence at lodgement. Missing birth certificates, unclear copies of passports, absent marriage records, or no evidence linking different names across documents can slow the application down because the Department has to ask for basics that could have been provided earlier.

另一個實際問題是文件在過程中到期。護照、無犯罪紀錄證明和某些健康相關文件，可能在案件作出決定前失效。發生這種情況時，可能會要求更新文件，這會增加時間和成本。

Family records often contain small inconsistencies that become big delays. Different spellings of names, reversed day and month formats in dates of birth, missing middle names, and different addresses across forms can all trigger requests for clarification. These issues are easier to deal with when they are identified and explained early with matching evidence.

Some applicants do not tell the Department when key details change. A change of address, passport renewal, change of contact details, marriage, separation, or the death of a family member can all affect the Department's records. If the Department sends a request to an old address or outdated email contact, deadlines can be missed.

Another common mistake is assuming a bridging visa carries the same rights as the substantive visa held before lodgement. In practice, visa conditions can differ. Work rights, travel rights and re-entry arrangements depend on the visa actually in effect at the time, not on assumptions carried over from an earlier visa.

Delays also happen when overseas documents are not translated properly. Where a document is not in English, the Department generally expects an English translation from a suitable translator. Poor quality scans, missing pages, and uploads that cut off stamps or seals can create avoidable follow-up requests.

Some applications stall because people do not monitor Department messages after lodgement. Requests can come through online accounts or by email, and response periods can be strict. Missing one request can lead to long delays, or in some cases a decision being made on the information already available.

常見問題#

什麼是 173 子類別簽證？#

subclass 173 是臨時付費父母簽證。有效期為兩年，設計上是通往永久 subclass 143 簽證的分階段途徑。

173 簽證是永久居留嗎？#

不是。這只是臨時簽證。

它屬於兩階段的 contributory parent 途徑。之後還需要為永久 subclass 143 階段另行申請。

173 visa 的政府收費是多少？#

所列政府收費對主申請人為 $30,400。所列政府收費對每位 18 歲或以上的附加申請人也為 $30,400。

這些是政府收費，不是專業服務費。無論由誰遞交申請，政府收費都相同。

移民代理或律師可以更改政府費用嗎？#

不會。政府費用由 Australian Government 訂定，不會因為由誰準備或遞交申請而改變。

註冊移民代理或 Australian legal practitioner 可就其工作另收專業費用。該費用可因服務提供者而異。

173 簽證會通往 143 簽證嗎？#

是。此簽證是兩年期的臨時父母簽證，分階段通往 143。

之後的 subclass 143 階段不是自動的。那是另一個獨立申請，有其自己的程序、費用和決定。
