Can a child 18 years or older be covered by a Remaining Relative Visa application as a dependant?
A child of 18 years of age or over will not be considered dependant unless the Remaining Relative Visa applicant can show that they are wholly or substantially reliant on them for financial support for their basic needs of food, shelter and clothing. The Australian Remaining Relative Visa applicant must also show that they have provided support for a substantial period and that the child is more reliant on them than on any other person or source. Unless this evidence can be provided, they should apply separately.
