안녕하세요.

자녀스폰서 임시 초청부모비자 (SC 870)에 대해서 소개합니다.

2019년 4월 17일부터 이 비자 신청이 가능하며

자격은 기존의 부모 / 기여 부모비자와 달리

자녀의 반 또는 그 이상이 호주 영주권자 / 시민권자 / 자격있는 NZ 시민권자로 거주하지 않아도 됨. (No family balance test required)

단, 자녀중에 단 한명이라도 영주권자 / 시민권자 / 자격있는 NZ 시민권자로 호주에 정착하여 최소 4년을 살고 있을 때  부/모/부모님이 자녀스폰서 초청부모비자 (SC 870) 신청을 위한 스폰서(sponsor) 자격이 될 수 있습니다.

Commencement of the five year subclass 870 Sponsored Parent (Temporary) visa

On 1 March 2019, Minister Coleman announced that applications to sponsor a parent for a Sponsored Parent (Temporary) visa will be open from 17 April 2019.

Once a sponsorship application has been approved, a sponsored parent will be able to apply for a Sponsored Parent (Temporary) visa. Applications for the visa are intended to open from 1 July 2019 (2단계 처리: 즉, 스폰서쉽 먼저 승인되고 비자 신청서 제출가능함)

이 비자 탄생 배경:The visa provides parents with a new pathway to temporarily reunite with their children and grandchildren in Australia, while ensuring that taxpayers are not required to cover additional costs. The visa responds to community concerns about the limited number of Parent places in the migration program and associated lengthy waiting periods. (영주권은 제한되어 있고 조부모님들과 손자손녀가 만날 기회 제공 그러면서도 국민들 세금부담없도록…)

To be eligible for the visa, a parent must be the biological, legal (including adoptive) parent, step-parent or parent in-law of the Parent Sponsor, who must be an Australian citizen, Australian permanent resident, or eligible New Zealand citizen.

The following information is subject to introduction of supporting regulations.

General information

Benefits of the new pathway

The visa allows parents to remain in Australia for a longer period of time, up to five years at a time without departing. It provides an alternative option to Visitor visas which only allow shorter periods of stay. Parents are still eligible to apply for Visitor visas and/or permanent Parent visas. (이 비자는 관광비자로 짧게 거주하는 것 대신  최대 5년 거주 가능한 임시 초청부모비자임. 부모들은 관광비자 및 영주비자를 신청할 자격을 또한 가짐. )

While the Sponsored Parent (Temporary) visa allows for a significantly longer stay period than a visitor visa, it is still only a temporary visa and does not allow for permanent residence in Australia like a permanent Parent visa. (특징으로 관광비자보다 훨씬 오래 거주 가능하지만 그렇다고 영주 거주할 수 있는 비자는 아님)

Number of places available

Up to 15,000 Sponsored Parent (Temporary) visas may be granted each program year (from 1 July to 30 June). (회계연도 마다 최대 1만 5천명이 그란트될 것임)

The 15,000 cap has been set by the Government in recognition of the challenges of an ageing population, as well as the overall budget impact of older migrants. The limit also reflects the Government’s priority of providing visa pathways for children and partners of Australians, as well as the need to target young skilled migrants to maximise the economic benefits of migration.

If the cap is reached in a program year, no further visas will be granted until the next program year commences on 1 July. (매년 7월 1일 시작하여 15,000명이 다 차면 다음 회계연도까지 기다려야 함)

The visa and existing pathways

Standard Visitor visa arrangements remain unchanged. The Sponsored Parent (Temporary) visa replaces the Visitor visa concession that existed for parents of Australian citizens/permanent residents to stay in Australia for longer periods. (기존의 표준 방문비자는 변화하지 않지만 영주/시민권자의 부모에게 제공된 기존의 방문비자에 제공된 혜택이 대체됨)

While the Sponsored Parent (Temporary) visa allows for a significantly longer stay period than a visitor visa, it is still only a temporary visa and does not allow for permanent residence in Australia like a permanent Parent visa. The new visa provides a pathway for existing Parent visa applicants to travel to Australia temporarily to spend time with their children and grandchildren while their permanent Parent visa application is being processed.

(방문비자보다 훨씬 오래 거주가능함 그러나 영주거주는 아님. 그럼에도 불구하고 호주내 자녀/손자와 함께 호주에서 보다 오랫동안 거주가 가능하게 해 줌)

Potential applicants are in the best position to determine which visa is most appropriate for their own circumstances, noting that each visa has different requirements, visa application charges, conditions and stay periods. (신청인이 처해져 있는 상황에 따라 선택이 더 생긴 것)

Sponsorship

The information below applies to sponsors of Sponsored Parent (Temporary) visas, not other kinds of sponsors, such as work visa sponsors. (아래 정보는 부모초청비자를 위한 스폰서로서 고용주 스폰서쉽 또는 스폰서 자격조건이 아님에 유의)

Only two parents per household can be sponsored for this visa at a time. The limit allows more households to sponsor a parent and reflects the potential costs a sponsor will be required to meet. (한가정에 딱 두 명의 부모만 한번에 스폰서 가능함)

Eligibility

Sponsors must meet the following criteria: (스폰서는 다음 조건을 반드시 만족해야 함)

• be the biological, legal (including adoptive) parent, step-parent or parent in-law of the Parent Sponsor (친부모, 양부모, 의붓부모, 장인 & 장모)
• be aged at least 18 years of age (최소 18세)
• be an Australian citizen/permanent resident or eligible New Zealand citizen who has been usually resident in Australia for four years (4년동안 호주에 거주한 호주 영주권자/시민권자/자격있는 NZ시민권자)
• have met any prior sponsorship obligations (사전 스폰서쉽 의무조건을 만족)
• have no adverse information unless it is reasonable to disregard the information (불미스러운 사건 없을 것)
• have no debts to the Commonwealth or public health debts unless appropriate arrangements have been made for payment (정부에 빚이 없을 것)
• a minimum household income threshold (based on the income of the sponsor, or the combined income of the sponsor and their spouse/partner and/or another child of the parent) (수입조건 만족, 즉 스폰서 일인 수입 또는 스폰서와 배우자/파트너 그리고/ 부모의 다른 자녀의 합친수입)
• provide police clearances for any country they have spent more than 12 months cumulatively in during the past 10 years (신원조회)
• authorise information to be shared with the visa applicant. (정보공유 가능해야 함)

Sponsors must also agree to comply with sponsorship obligations in relation to the parent(s) they are sponsoring. (스폰서가 의무조항 반드시 지키겠다는 서약이 요구됨)

Sponsorship obligations (스폰서쉽 의무조항)

A parent sponsor will be required to meet obligations including: (아래 의무조항을 지킬 것)

• providing financial support and accommodation for their parent in Australia (경제적지원 및 숙박제공)
• keeping records and providing them to the Department if asked. For example evidence of income. This obligation ends two years after the day the person ceases to be a sponsor (이민성에서 요구하면 수입 증빙자료 제출; 첫 2년동안만)
• advising the Department when certain events occur. For example if they are charged with a crime. This obligation ends the day after the person ceases to be a sponsor (이민성에 통보의무)
• paying outstanding public health debts incurred by their parent in Australia. The obligation ceases if the relevant health authority advises the debt has been repaid, or acceptable repayment arrangements have been made. However, this obligation will continue if there are outstanding health debts, even after the parent who incurred them has departed Australia. (호주에서 부모로 인해 발생한 빚청산의무)

If an obligation is breached, the Department can consider: (의무조항 어길 경우)

• cancelling the sponsorship. This means any existing sponsored visa holders must either find another sponsor or depart Australia (스폰서쉽 취소; 비자소지자 다른 스폰서 찾거나 호주를 떠나야 함)
• barring a sponsor. A bar prevents a sponsor from sponsoring further parents for a period of time. (일정기간 스폰서쉽 신청자격 정지)

If the parent incurs public health debts in Australia and these are not paid, the party owed the debt will be able to pursue the sponsor, through the Courts if necessary, to have the debt repaid. (부모가 발생한 의료비 빚을 갚아야 할 의무; 그렇지 않으면 강제로 지불하도록 할 수도 있음)

Sponsorship validity (유효기간)

A parent sponsorship will cease: (아래와 같은 일이 발생하면 부모스폰서쉽이  종료됨)

• if the sponsor’s permanent visa is cancelled (스폰서의 영주비자가  취소될 때)
• if the sponsor dies (스폰서 사망)
• if the sponsor withdraws their sponsorship (스폰서가 스폰서쉽 철회)
• if the sponsored parent does not apply for a Sponsored Parent (Temporary) visa within six months of the sponsorship being approved (스폰서쉽 승인후 6개월안에 해당 비자신청 안한 경우)
• the day that the Sponsored Parent (Temporary) visa ceases. (임시부모초청비자 종료)

However, some sponsor obligations will continue after the sponsorship ceases, including the obligation to pay any outstanding health debts incurred by the visa holder in Australia, even after their visa has ceased. (해당 비자가 만기되었다 할지라도 그 비자를 소지한 부모때문에 발생하고 지불하지 않은 의료비용이 남아 있다면 스폰서쉽이 종료된 후라도 스폰서의무조항은 유지됨에 유의)

Sponsorship cost

The sponsorship application fee is $420. (420불)

Sponsoring other kinds of visas

Sponsored Parent (Temporary) visa sponsors will also be able to sponsor other types of visa holders if they meet the requirements of that sponsorship (for example a work visa sponsor for a Temporary Skill Shortage visa, or sponsor for a Sponsored Family Visitor visa).

A sponsor can lodge an application to vary their sponsorship which will allow them to sponsor a different (new) parent. The new parent must also be a parent or step-parent of the sponsor or their spouse/partner. If the sponsor already has two sponsored parents, they will need to withdraw their sponsorship for one parent and that parent must either leave Australia or apply for and be granted a different visa before an application for sponsorship variation can be lodged. (최대 2명의 부모만 스폰서쉽 신청이 가능함; 또 다른 부모를 스폰서해주고 싶을 때는 기존의  스폰서쉽을 철회하고 그 부모가 호주를 떠난 다음 또는 다른 비자로 합법적으로 호주에 거주한 다음에 다른 스폰서쉽 신청서를 제출할 수 있음)

Sponsors who wish to sponsor two new parents must lodge a new sponsorship application. (두명의 새로운 부모를 스폰서하고자 하는 스폰서들은 새로운 스폰서쉽 신청서를 제출해야 함)

Visa

Visa eligibility

Sponsored Parent (Temporary) visa applicants must:

• be sponsored by a person who is an approved parent sponsor (승인된 부모 스폰서에 의해 스폰되어야 함)
• be at least 18 years of age (18세 이상)
• be outside Australia (unless invited in writing to apply by the Department), for at least 90 days if the applicant holds or has previously held a Sponsored Parent (Temporary) visa (이민성에서 따로 초청이 있지 않는 이상 반드시 호주 밖에 거주해야 함)
• not have engaged in payment for visas conduct (비자처리를 위해서 돈을
• provide evidence of access to funds (충분한 제정이 있음을 증빙자료)
• provide evidence of health insurance (사보험 증빙자료) (이비자 소지자는 나중에 Medicare 혜택은 없음을 뜻임)
• not have an outstanding public health debt (unless appropriate arrangements have been made to repay the debt) (정부에 공공보건 및 건강관련 빚이 없어야 함)
• satisfy health, character, and national security requirements. (신체검사 및 신원조회 통과)

Unlike permanent Parent visas, there is no Balance of Family Test requirement for this visa, meaning a visa applicant is not required to have more than half of their children residing in Australia.

How long you can stay (한번에 최대 5년거주)

The visa allows parents to stay in Australia temporarily for a period of up to five years at a time. A parent must be outside Australia for at least 90 days before being eligible to apply for a further Sponsored Parent (Temporary) visa. (또 다른 비자 신청전에 90일동안 호주 밖에서 기다려야 함) A parent will be able to hold visas up to a total stay in Australia of 10 years, reflecting that the visa is a temporary visa and does not lead to permanent residence. (최대 10년 거주 가능)

Parents who have held Sponsored Parent (Temporary) visas for the cumulative maximum 10 year period must either depart Australia or apply for another visa that will allow them to remain in Australia. They will not be eligible for grant of a further Sponsored Parent (Temporary) visa. (10년 이후로는 다른 비자를 신청해야 함. 누적하여 870 비자를 10년 이상 소지한 경우 연장 불허)

Visa cost (비자 비용)

The visa application charge is:

• $5,000 for a visa of up to three years’ duration; or (최대 3년에 5천불) 또는
• $10,000 for a visa of up to five years’ duration. (최대 5년에 만불)

The visa application charge is payable in two instalments, with one payment at time of application and the remainder paid prior to visa grant. (비자 신청시점과 비자 그란트 직전에 두번 나눠 지불가능)

The visa application charge represents a contribution to the cost of the services parents will use in Australia for extended periods. Most visa holders will have never paid tax in Australia but will benefit from using existing infrastructure. (세금을 호주에 전혀 지불하지 않았지만 호주에서 제공하는 현존하는 인프라 스트럭쳐로부터 이득을 얻게 된다)

The charges also reflect that there are benefits for both parents and their Australian families. The visa holder can stay in Australia for up to five years continuously (up to a cumulative maximum of 10 years), thereby saving on the cost of airfares that would be incurred over this period if they were required to depart and re-enter Australia on a regular basis.
