In short, the old retirement visa has been replaced by the NIV, a multi-stream visa class.
In short, the NIV has routes for those with previous business experience, investors, and others looking to emigrate who are too old to emigrate as skilled workers.
It is also now a preferred route for parents who want to join their children already living in Australia, as the visa can be approved in 18 months, while a parent visa can take up to 45 years.
Unlike the parent visa, you can also remain onshore in Australia while your case is processed.
Since its launch in 2025, the NIV has become the preferred route for those over 50 years old.
