SOP for Dependent Visa Australia- Complete Guide for 2023

I am Krishnamoorthy S, an Indian citizen and father of Krishna Das S who is currently working as a cyber security engineer at Yztspc IT Company, Sydney, Australia. Through this brief letter, I would like to present my reasons for traveling to Australia as a dependent to be with my son. 

I am 62 years old and currently residing in Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu. I am a retired civil engineer with three decades of professional experience in the PWD Department of Tamil Nadu. My wife Shantakumari M passed away one year ago and I am residing alone in my family home. Krishna Das is my only child and he traveled to Australia on a work visa three years ago. Although I have my family members for support, I wish to spend some quality time with my son in Australia and for that I am in need of a dependent visa. 

Krishna Das has always been an enthusiastic individual passionate about the IT industry. I have always supported his career choices and used the financial resources at my disposal to see him succeed. I was very proud of his achievements when he was able to secure a job in Australia. He left India in 2019 and has been residing in Sydney ever since. He returned to India once to take part in his mother’s funeral rites and spend two months with me. 

After my wife’s death, I have been afflicted by the lethargy of old age. Although I don’t have any serious illnesses, the prospect of having to spend most of my time alone is affecting my mental health. I have accepted the fact that I am at the dusk of my life and I would like to spend my remaining time with my son who is my only close kin. I have a loving relationship with him and I am sure that standing by his side would certainly make me happy and content. Experiencing the warmth of family life will not only lift my spirits but also give me the emotional support I require at this time in my life. 

Hence, I request the Australian Visa Authorities to issue me a dependent visa so I can live with Krishna Das in Sydney. I promise to follow all rules and the conditions of my stay in Australia, and I hereby certify that I am fully aware of the obligations associated with my visa. Krishna Das is currently residing at (Address) which is a two bedroom apartment. Moreover he has an annual income of AU$138,250 per year. Additionally, I have savings amounting to AU$ 65,000 and other assets worth AU$ 124,000. My son and I have enough financial resources to support my stay in Australia. 

I have traveled to European countries like the UK, Germany and Monaco as a tourist and I have familiarised myself with the culture and etiquette of the western world. As such, I will not have a problem assimilating with the lifestyle of Australia. I am also fluent in English and can keep a conversation going. 

After Krishna Das completes his professional tenure with Yztspc IT Company, we will return to our homeland in Coimbatore. Krishna Das is my sole successor and I wish to see him get married and settle in India. 

I am submitting all the necessary documents and meeting all the prerequisites for the visa application with this letter. I sincerely hope that your review of my application will be favourable and that you will provide me the opportunity to be reunited with my son and once more enjoy the pleasures of family life.

Thank you for your time and consideration.
