How we select Parent Resident Visa expressions of interest (EOIs) changed on 5 October 2026. From 5 October, every year we will select approximately:
- 90% of EOIs based on the date order they were submitted
- 10% of EOIs based on a random ballot.
The first selection using this new model will be on 10 November 2026. The number of Parent Resident Visas we can approve each year and the visa criteria will not change.
