Chinese mother gets visa to come to Australia, despite the coronavirus travel ban, so she can see her only son who is on life support in a Melbourne hospital.
A Chinese mother has been granted a visa to come to Australia, despite the coronavirus travel ban, so she can see her only son who is on life support in a Melbourne hospital.
‘‘I can announce today that Xiao Li’s mother has been granted that tourist visa, so she will be coming to Australia,’’ Mr Tudge said.‘‘Typically we ask people to quarantine themselves for 14 days after arriving in Australia. In this instance we’re going to work very closely with her to ensure that she can nevertheless see her son and properly take care of the funeral arrangements and other issues which she needs to deal with.
Ms Ren applied for an Australian visa on January 29, paying a total of $1145 to fast-track her application with a normal response time of two business days. "His mother [made] a very, very difficult decision, because you know in China, when people pass away they would keep their body," Mr Yuan said.
