请问一个父母排队移民103签证的一个问题
我妈妈11月底以600一年的签证来墨尔本和我们住一年。 打算给她申请103. 但是还可以选offshore 申请吗？ 你申请的时候onshore就不能选offshore啊。。。 onshore就只有aged parents了，不然就是交钱的了。 143交钱的似乎也只能offshore 我看到47pa表上有这么一段话：Your choice of whether you apply for an offshore or onshore visa
may also be affected by migration law. For example, if you usually
live outside Australia and are visiting your child in Australia, then
the visitor visa that allowed your entry into Australia may have a
condition attached (such as an 8503 ‘No Further Stay’ condition)
that would prevent you from lodging a valid parent visa
application while you are physically in Australia.
Another example of a legal restriction is if, since your arrival in
Australia, you have been refused the grant of a visa or your visa
has been cancelled, then you may be unable to lodge another
visa application while you are physically in Australia.
我妈妈的600没有8503条款，是不是就应该是可以在澳洲境内申请offshore的，只要在grant 签证的时候不在澳洲就可以了。 还有这里说是可以申请境内offshore的。但是我不确定我理解是百分百对的。
Offshore visa applicants
Note: Parents of any age may apply for one of the following visas:
• Parent (Class AX – Migrant) (subclass 103);
• Contributory Parent (Class CA – Migrant) (subclass 143); or
• Contributory Parent (Class UT – Temporary) (subclass 173) visa,
but they must be outside Australia when the visa is granted*. Usually,
persons making such applications are outside Australia at the time of
application.
However, offshore visa applicants may lodge an application while they
are in Australia unless they are legally prevented from doing so under
migration legislation. For example, persons will be prevented from
applying while they are in Australia if they have a ‘No Further Stay’
condition attached to the visa that they hold at time of application.
Parents who have had a previous application refused while they are
in Australia may also be prevented from applying in Australia. 移民局上有parent migration booklet。以下摘抄了他们对onshore和offshore visa的定义。原文你可以自行搜索。
Offshore visa：A visa that can only be granted while the visa applicant is outside
Australia. Generally, this also means that the visa applicant must
be outside Australia when they lodge their visa application.
onshore visa： A visa that can only be granted while the visa applicant is in
Australia. The visa applicant must also be in Australia when they
lodge their visa application. 有些签证没有严格规定onshore或者offshore，你妈妈没有8503条款的话就可以onshore申请。。但是103明确是offshore的。。。应该只能offshore 谢谢，那这么一看就是“generally”和“however”的问题了。我再研究一下。 onshore的话年龄不够啊，现在是65-67.
