Recently I have received a few inquiries on an onshore parents visa application, particularly to the Subclass 870 Sponsored Parents Visa. The short answer is you need to apply to get an approval in order to lodge your visa onshore.
Due to the Covid-19, the Department has lenient on the approaches for the visa application to be made onshore, means the visa applicant is in Australia when the visa is lodged. However, the applicant must not have any 'no further stay' condition on their visa before they can apply.
Subclass 870 Sponsored Parents Visa can be lodged with the following steps:
Sponsorship Approval. Your eligible children can sponsor you by applying to get a sponsorship approval
Lodge the visa application within 60 days from the sponsorship approval
