Migration Regulations 1994

For the purposes of subsection 140G(2) of the Act, an approval of a person as a parent sponsor has effect only in relation to a permitted sponsored person specified in the approval.

For the purposes of subsection 140G(3) of the Act, an approval of a person as the parent sponsor of a permitted sponsored person specified in the approval ceases to have effect if:

any permanent visa held by the parent sponsor is cancelled; or

the parent sponsor dies; or

Immigration receives notification, in writing, of the withdrawal by the parent sponsor of his or her sponsorship of the specified person; or

the specified permitted sponsored person fails to apply for a Subclass 870 (Sponsored Parent (Temporary)) visa before the end of the period of 6 months starting on:

if a term of the approval of the parent sponsor has been varied so that the approval also has effect in relation to that person—the day the variation is made; or

otherwise—the sponsorship start day for the parent sponsor; or

the Subclass 870 (Sponsored Parent (Temporary)) visa held by the specified permitted sponsored person ceases to have effect.

To avoid doubt, if:

the approval as a parent sponsor has effect in relation to 2 permitted sponsored persons specified in the approval; and

an event mentioned in paragraph (2)(c), (d) or (e) happens in relation to only one of those persons;

Subregulations (2) and (3) do not limit Division 2.20 of this Part (which is about circumstances in which an approved sponsor may be barred or an approved sponsor’s approval may be cancelled).
