Tourist Visa 676 for Mother-Brother

[devenkhatri]

Hi,

I am in australia on 457 visa.
I want to call my Mother and my younger Brother to Australia for 2-3 months on tourist visa.
I would be sponsoring all their expenses in australia.
Any idea how much bank balance do I need for sponsoring the expenses of my mother and brother's stay here in australia

Will they be staying with you or will they need to pay for accommodation ?
Just work out what it will cost to feed them for a week, any transport and sightseeing costs they may have, any other incidental expenses and multiply that with the number of weeks.

Include this detailed calculation with your application as well as a copy of your bank statement to show that you have sufficient funds to cover this.

The Australian government believes that the dole or a pension is enough for people to survive on, so you could use that as a guide...
