    In this scenario the 2017 trip doesn’t actually reset the 5 year clock, as it is based on the last exit date as a PR.

    It is actually on the list of additional occupations for the NT DAMA.

    The 2 years is in the law. If you have spent 730+ days in Australia in the previous 5 years, you are granted a 5 year RRV. If less, you can still be granted a one year RRV if you demonstrate substantial ties to Australia, which are of benefit to Australia. If you come back for the last 30 or so days that will make things much easier.

    There are no definites, but as @Amber Snowball says you have probably reached the point where you need some professional advice.

    As above: 1. Yes, unrestricted - partner application BVs have nil conditions. 2. Usually instantly.

    It is no longer published policy. I would run your dates through the citizenship calculator to see (and if you are worried, you can request a movement report from the Department).

    It’s the same as the ATO, using Canberra time, but I would never cut it so fine that it matters.

    Sole trading or business registration details and /or official statements issued by your (registered) accountant and/or legal team. Statutory declaration listing your main duties during self-employment; Payment evidence showing regular income from self-employment, such as client invoices together with corresponding bank statements and/ or official taxation records; Supplementary evidence, such as contracts with clients or suppliers, client testimonials, evidence of projects completed etc.

    The success of an RRV application will depend on the nature of your ties and how well you demonstrate them. The only sure way to maintain your PR status is to return before your permanent visa expires. I would get some professional advice based on your specific circumstances.

    The 3 month RRV is a different animal all together and has different criteria. It is for applicants who do not have sufficient substantial ties to qualify for the 5 (or 1) year RRV. Perhaps it would be best to get some bespoke professional advice nearer the time, as things may have changed in the next 20 months.

    RRV 155

    paulhand replied to Milcey W's topic in Visa Chat

    If you get a 3 month RRV you would need another one to leave Australia 9 months later and still return as a permanent resident.

    - You can add it to your statutory declaration. - Yes you will.
  14. paulhand
    Yes - in your immi account.
  15. paulhand
    That's fine ...

    I agree with the posts above that suggest running these in parallel.

    Currently it’s 4 years in Australia, with the final 12 months as a permanent resident, immediately before applying. You can be away for 12 months in total and 3 months in the final year. This government has said it wants to change this to 4 years as a PR, but they haven’t got far with that (yet). So, 2012-14 doesn’t help.

    The Department of Home Affairs (like now, but with the approval being a requirement to lodge the application, rather than being done after lodging).
  19. paulhand
    I think in this case, it would be better to contact a Registered Migration Agent who can look at the specifics of your situation.
  20. paulhand
    I think your first answer is in their announcement: "BSMQ will continue to process applications which have been already invited for state nomination prior to this date until our quota is exhausted." Your age (and other points) are calculated at the time of invitation to apply for the visa, so you need the nomination first.
  21. paulhand
    They concern, amongst other things, requiring sponsors to be approved before a partner visa application is lodged, which may be an issue for those who apply onshore from short temporary visas. We don’t yet know when they will be implemented.

    AGE LIMIT

    paulhand replied to Aussiebird's topic in Visa Chat

    No - because the previous partner visa has expired. That is why he needs a new visa to return. He can apply for any visa he is eligible for, and, as a former permanent resident, this includes an RRV.
  23. paulhand
    Partner application bridging visas come with nil conditions. You need to ensure that you wait for your 457 to expire; if it is cancelled, so is your bridging visa.
  24. paulhand
    It's in the Migration Regulations. The definition of permanent resident for this purpose requires that the person is both "usually resident in Australia" and "is the holder of a permanent visa".

    No there isn’t, but as has already been mentioned a number of times, if he is a former PR with an Aussie partner, an RRV is the first port of call.
