thanks so much for that, too. Yes, I have been thinking about the chance ( or not ) of us getting another RRV after the first one is due to expire ( if we even get it, of course ) Spoke to my husband lastnight and said we might actually have to forget the holiday idea and just make the move because I wasnt sure if we'd get another RRV. If we did make the move within a one year RRV, anyone know what would happen if we had to return to the Uk for an illness or death in the family? both these replies have been VERY helpful! Still waiting for a reply from either of the two migration agents I emailed. Thanks again!!

That is really helpful, especially the last paragraph as I hadnt thought about that. Ive now emailed a couple of migration agents for advice only. ( hopefully it wont cost the earth for advice only ) Thanks a lot!

Hi guys, Bit complicated but here goes. Spent 18months in Melbourne on a PR Visa.Came back Feb 2009 and PR visa has expired now by a year. We are looking at returning to Oz for a holiday and recce in Jan 2014 with a view to returning to settle in Oz after that. Can anyone advise how long a RRV we'd get if we applied now and how we'd go about renewing it? Any up to date advice you can suggest will be much appreciated,folks. onepearlyb

Hiya, New to this forum but I'm a qualified ping-ponger looking to return to Oz again in the near future. This would be amazing news if the quarantine time was reduced to 10days. Our dog is now older, and I fear the current 30 days would be too much for him ( and us ) Will definately be keeping an eye on this developing news as I would consider a move sooner if this were to be agreed.
