Once 29 visas are granted that year, no more can be issued until the next financial year. This controls migration numbers but can mean long waiting periods for families trying to reunite. The \"contributory\" aspect means applicants (or their sponsors) pay a significant visa charge to offset potential future healthcare costs."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/migration-act-1958-determination-under-section-85-maximum-number-of-contributory-aged-parent-tempora","history":"/api/acts/migration-act-1958-determination-under-section-85-maximum-number-of-contributory-aged-parent-tempora/history","analysis":"/api/acts/migration-act-1958-determination-under-section-85-maximum-number-of-contributory-aged-parent-tempora/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/migration-act-1958-determination-under-section-85-maximum-number-of-contributory-aged-parent-tempora/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/migration-act-1958-determination-under-section-85-maximum-number-of-contributory-aged-parent-tempora/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/migration-act-1958-determination-under-section-85-maximum-number-of-contributory-aged-parent-tempora/documents"}}
