At a glance
Did two elderly parents meet the genuine temporary entrant (GTE) test for a Sponsored Family Subclass 600?
Facts summary
- Elderly couple sought short family visit under the Sponsored Family stream.
- They have limited travel history, strong family/social/religious ties in their home country, and financial support from children.
Decision
The Tribunal accepted the couple only intend a temporary visit, will follow all visa conditions, and will depart if required. Their support, family ties, and circumstances outweighed concerns, so the refusal was overturned and sent back to the Department.
Why it matters
-
Strong ties to home can help show a family visitor visa is genuine.
-
Understanding visa rules and having good support plans can make approval more likely.
