Jilldesp Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 Hi, having lived in Australia for 12 months on a 189 visa, we intend to return before it expires in 2020. Is there a certain amount of months before the expiry date that we have to return by? I.e. 6 months before or not? Thanku x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanku x No, however, don't leave it to the last day as if there is a delay with the flight or any other delay, you may miss your re entry date. Also be mindful that the amount of time spent outside of Australia will impact your eligibility for a Resident Return Visa. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do I need a rrv if I'm within the 5 years? thanku x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raul Senise Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 No. but you will need an RRV to travel outside of Australia once the initial 5 year travel facility expires. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
