Your obligations
When you sponsor a child for a visa, you must:
- agree to help the child with accommodation and financial support to the extent necessary and
- provide this support for the first 2 years the child is in Australia on this visa.
This includes any period of participation by the visa holder in the Adult Migrant English Program (AMEP) that falls within that period.
Learn more about AMEP.
You cannot withdraw as a sponsor after we have granted the visa.
