I am an Australian citizen and want to apply for my father to come over. How many ways are there? What are the steps of each method?

1: Let your father apply for a 600 tourist visa;

This visa requires your father to submit a visa application in China. You can find an organization you trust to help your father apply for a visa. A deposit certificate of 5W yuan is required for the first application:

A visa can enter the country once a year and stay for three months at a time;

Single entry for one year, each stay 12 months;

Multiple entry within one year, each stay for 3 months;

2. You can apply for a parent immigrant visa:

There are two types of visas:

1 is the immigrant whose parents lined up 103. It will take about 25 years to queue up for this immigrant visa.

The second type is 143 paid parents immigration, which takes about 2 years to process;

I hope the above answers can help you, and I hope to adopt them. Thank you very much!
