To qualify for this visa, the child must be under 18 years of age, have been adopted legally by the sponsor, and be sponsored by an eligible Australian citizen or permanent resident. Additionally, the applicant must have been assessed as eligible for adoption based on the legal requirements and procedures of their home country.
