Rawkus

Hi all I am a PR and after January I will need to apply for a RRV.i have been here 3.5 years so should get the 5 year RRV. If I need to leave Australia and will be out the country still in January, can I apply for a RRV way in advance so i have it sorted before I leave or is there a rule on how in advance i can do it. I can't find this information anywhere.

Thankyou

Can anyone recommend a migration agent in Melbourne please?
