I had lived in Australia for 4 years in a row from 2014 - 2018 would this make me eligible if i come back and reside for 12 months? (providing the time as a PR does not increase)

Thanks so much for your help here guys. so just to clarify, the 730 days does not have to be consecutive during the 5 year visa? think i have done roughly 180 days as a PR - meaning essentially to maintain the PR visa i need do live in Aus for another 550 days before May 2023? is this correct? As mentioned, i may stay in the UK for this year and come back next year (rough plan) to complete my 550 days. My plan is 100% to live in aus and once i get settled again apply for my Aus passport after 12 months. Also worry in the back of my mind, is there anyway subject to change of government for example, they can cancel your PR visa or change the regulations. I'm probably overthinking things here i know, just want to be 100% - maybe i should just come back soon and get the Passport over and done with! Let me know your thoughts, Much appreciated, thank you! Best, Jonathan

Hi There, my 186 Visa was granted in May 2018 I was given 5 year PR Visa. I left Australia in November 2018 and i have been traveling and visiting family in the UK. i just want to clarify how long i am entitled to stay outside of Australia while maintaining my PR Visa. My understanding is i have until 2023 to return to Australia but making sure i have lived in Australia as a PR for at least 12 months (currently 6 months) I will be coming back to Australia to live long term, just wanting some help on this please. Would be much appreciated. Many thanks, John
