【本文摘要】
在澳洲，父母想长期陪伴子女，现实路径正在收窄：探亲用的600访客签常被附加8503（不得境内续签），政府9月17日还宣布未来新签发的访客签将统一附加该条款；永久性的143父母签证没有停审，但新申请业内普遍估算要等12至15年。在这样的背景下，870担保父母临时签证成了少数还能让父母较长时间、合法稳定留在澳洲的正常运转选项。本文简要介绍870，并回答三个最常被问到的问题：已经申请143还能申请870吗？已经申请老年父母签证（864/804）呢？先申请870会不会影响以后的永久父母签证？

探亲签受限、永久签要排十几年，870不是”最优解”，而是目前少数还能正常运转的选择，但先后顺序一旦错了，后面很难补救
Subtitle: With visitor visas restricted and permanent parent visas queued for over a decade, the 870 isn’t a “perfect answer” — it’s one of the few options still working reliably, but a wrong sequence is hard to undo
📌核心提醒：870是临时签证，不通往永居；但它不受永久父母签证的配额和排队限制，处理周期以月计，而不是以年计。
Core point: the 870 is a temporary visa and doesn’t lead to permanent residency — but it sits outside the capped, queued permanent parent visa system, with processing measured in months rather than years.

一、现实：父母来澳洲，路径正在收窄The reality: pathways for parents are narrowing
🛂 600访客签：还能探亲，但”留下来”越来越难
🛂 Visitor visa (600): still available for visits, but staying on is getting harder
600访客签依然可以用于短期探亲，这一点没有变。
The Subclass 600 visitor visa can still be used for short family visits — that hasn’t changed.
但走担保探亲类别（Sponsored Family stream）的600，默认就会附加8503条款，近期父母类访客签附加8503的情况也相当普遍。
However, the Sponsored Family stream of the 600 carries condition 8503 by default, and 8503 has also been attached quite commonly to parent visitor visas in recent grants.
8503意味着，在澳洲期间基本不能再申请其他签证（保护签证除外），”到期了在境内再办一张”这条路基本走不通。
Condition 8503 generally means no other visa application can be made while in Australia (a protection visa being the exception), so “renewing onshore when it expires” is essentially closed.
9月17日，政府宣布未来新签发的访客签证将统一附加这类”不得境内续签”条款；截至目前公开信息，具体生效日期尚未公布，已经持有的访客签证不受影响。
On 17 September, the government announced that future visitor visas will carry a No Further Stay condition across the board; based on publicly available information, the start date hasn’t been published, and existing visitor visas are not affected.
⏳ 143：没有停审，但排队很长
⏳ Subclass 143: not frozen, but the queue is very long
有人说143″基本停了”，这个说法并不准确。
The claim that the 143 has “basically stopped” isn’t accurate.
根据移民局公布的排队处理进度，目前正在处理的是2018年11月前排队的申请。
According to the Department’s published queue release dates, applications queued up to November 2018 are currently being processed.
对于新递交的申请，业内普遍估算需要等12到15年左右，官方并不给出固定时长。
For newly lodged applications, practitioners commonly estimate roughly 12 to 15 years, and the Department doesn’t quote a fixed timeframe.
另外，最新的部长指令让境内的老年父母类申请（864/884）排在境外143之前，境外143的实际处理顺序因此被进一步往后推。
In addition, the latest ministerial direction places onshore aged parent applications (864/884) ahead of offshore 143 applications, pushing offshore 143 applicants further back in practical processing order.
🏠 境内的老年父母签证（864/804）：不是随手能走的路
🏠 Onshore aged parent visas (864/804): not a path you can simply pick up
这两类签证要求申请人人在澳洲，而且手上的访客签如果带有8503，一般无法在境内递交。
Both require the applicant to be in Australia, and if the parent’s visitor visa carries condition 8503, an onshore application generally can’t be lodged.
二、870签证是什么（简明版）What the 870 visa is (the short version)
📋 基本情况
📋 The basics
870是担保父母临时签证，由在澳的子女（公民、永久居民或符合条件的新西兰公民）担保父母。
The 870 is the Sponsored Parent (Temporary) visa, where a child in Australia (a citizen, permanent resident, or eligible New Zealand citizen) sponsors their parent.
每次获批的时长是3年或5年。
Each grant is for either 3 or 5 years.
它不属于永久父母签证的配额和排队体系，业内一般认为处理时间大约是7到8个月，具体以移民局最新公布为准。
It sits outside the capped and queued permanent parent visa system, and processing is generally considered to take around 7 to 8 months — always check the Department’s latest published figures.
⚠️ 几个必须知道的要点
⚠️ A few points you need to know
父母递交申请时，一般必须人在澳洲境外。
The parent generally must be outside Australia when the application is lodged.
申请通常分两步：先通过担保人资格审批，再递交签证申请。
The process generally runs in two steps: sponsor approval first, then the visa application.
担保人需要满足居住年限、收入等条件，父母需要持有适当的医疗保险。
The sponsor must meet residence and income requirements, and the parent must hold adequate health insurance.
870不是永居签证，终身累计停留时间设有上限，再次申请时还有境外停留时间的要求。
The 870 is not a permanent visa — there’s a lifetime cap on cumulative stay, and re-applying carries an outside-Australia requirement.
三、三个最常被问到的问题
3. The three questions we get asked most
❓ 问题一：已经申请了143，还能申请870吗？
❓ Question 1: I’ve already applied for the 143 — can I still apply for the 870?
可以。多个信源和业内实务一致认为，已经递交永久父母签证（如143）的父母，仍然可以申请并获批870，持有870也不影响143的排队位置。
Yes. Multiple sources and practitioner experience agree that a parent who has already lodged a permanent parent application (such as the 143) can still apply for and be granted an 870, and holding an 870 doesn’t affect the 143’s queue position.
前提是满足870自身的条件，比如递交时人在境外、担保人资格、医疗保险等。
The condition is that the 870’s own requirements are met — such as being offshore at lodgement, sponsor eligibility, and health insurance.
这也是目前很多家庭采用的思路：先让永久签证排上队，再用870解决眼前的长期团聚需求。
This is the approach many families take: get the permanent visa into the queue first, then use the 870 to meet the immediate need for long-term reunion.
❓ 问题二：已经申请了老年父母签证（864/804），还能申请870吗？
❓ Question 2: I’ve already applied for an aged parent visa (864/804) — can I still apply for the 870?
这个比143的情况复杂得多。
This is considerably more complicated than the 143 situation.
864和804要求申请人人在澳洲，获批时也必须在澳洲；而870一般要求递交时人在境外，两者在”人所处的位置”上互相拉扯。
The 864 and 804 require the applicant to be in Australia, including at the time of decision, while the 870 generally requires the applicant to be offshore at lodgement — the two pull in opposite directions on where the parent must be.
我们没有找到官方明确禁止这种组合的说法，但操作不当可能影响已经递交的864/804，例如出境后的过桥签证和再次入境问题。
We haven’t found an official statement expressly prohibiting this combination, but handled wrongly it can affect the 864/804 already lodged — for example, bridging visa and re-entry issues after departure.
所以这不是”能不能”的问题，而是”怎么安排才不出事”的问题，不建议自行尝试。
So it isn’t a question of “whether” but of “how to arrange it without things going wrong” — we don’t recommend attempting it on your own.
❓ 问题三：先申请了870，之后还能申请永久父母签证吗？
❓ Question 3: If I apply for the 870 first, can I still apply for a permanent parent visa afterwards?
顺序在这里非常关键。
Sequence matters a great deal here.
多个信源指出，申请或持有870会限制之后申请永久父母签证；老年父母类（864/804）有明确表述，143的具体限制各来源的表述不完全一致，需要个案核实最新条文。
Multiple sources indicate that applying for or holding an 870 restricts later applications for permanent parent visas — the position is clearly stated for the aged parent categories (864/804), while sources differ on the exact restriction for the 143, which needs to be verified case by case against the current provisions.
因此如果打算两条路都走，通常应先把永久签证递交，再申请870，而不是反过来。
So if you plan to pursue both, the permanent visa should generally be lodged first, then the 870 — not the other way around.
四、为什么不建议自己摸索
4. Why we don’t recommend working it out alone
这件事最容易出错的，不是某一份表格，而是三个”错不起”的地方。
What most often goes wrong isn’t a particular form — it’s three things you can’t afford to get wrong.
第一是顺序：先递交哪个签证，决定了后面还能不能走另一条路。
First, sequence: which visa is lodged first determines whether the other path remains open.
第二是人在哪里：境内还是境外递交，以及中间的出入境安排。
Second, location: onshore or offshore lodgement, and the travel arrangements in between.
第三是时间线：870的停留上限、再次申请的要求，要和143长达十几年的排队时间提前衔接，否则中间可能出现没有合适签证可用的空窗期。
Third, timeline: the 870’s cumulative cap and re-application requirements need to be planned in advance against a 143 queue that can run over a decade — otherwise a gap with no suitable visa can open up.
我们可以协助你评估整体方案、预评估担保人资格、安排递交顺序和时间线，并规划长期衔接。
We can help assess your overall plan, pre-assess sponsor eligibility, arrange the lodgement sequence and timeline, and plan the long-term transition.
❓常见问题 FAQ
Q1：870是永居签证吗？
Is the 870 a permanent visa?
A：不是，870是临时签证，每次3年或5年，终身累计停留时间设有上限。
No. It’s a temporary visa granted for 3 or 5 years at a time, with a lifetime cap on cumulative stay.
Q2：父母已经在澳洲探亲，能直接申请870吗？
My parent is already in Australia visiting — can they apply for the 870 directly?
A：一般不能，870通常要求递交时人在澳洲境外，只有在例外情况下经移民局许可才可能境内申请。
Generally not. The 870 normally requires the applicant to be outside Australia at lodgement; onshore applications are only possible in exceptional circumstances with the Department’s permission.
Q3：143现在是不是已经不审理了？
Has the 143 stopped being processed?
A：没有。移民局仍按排队日期处理，目前处理到2018年11月前排队的申请，只是新申请的等待时间很长。
No. The Department is still processing in queue-date order — currently applications queued up to November 2018 — but wait times for new applications are very long.
Q4：所有访客签证现在都会带8503吗？
Do all visitor visas now carry condition 8503?
A：政府已宣布未来新签发的访客签证将统一附加，但截至目前公开信息，具体生效日期尚未公布；已持有的访客签证不受影响，而担保探亲类600本来就默认附加。
The government has announced that future visitor visas will carry it across the board, but the start date hasn’t been published; existing visas aren’t affected, and the Sponsored Family stream already carries it by default.
Q5：申请870需要买医疗保险吗？
Does the 870 require health insurance?
A：需要，父母在澳停留期间需要持有适当的医疗保险。
Yes. The parent must hold adequate health insurance for the duration of their stay.
