29956 (2025). Ricardo Menéndez March to the Minister of Immigration: How many people, if any, are expected to be granted a Parent Boost Visitor Visa in each year forecasted?
Hon Erica Stanford: Broad estimates were given by officials expecting between 2,000 to 10,000 applications per year. They have modelled the visa category of 6,000 on average, with a surge of applications expected upfront, however long-term demand cannot be accurately forecasted due to a range of untested factors. The category will be reviewed in 2027.
