Oh that's interesting. I'm currently in Australia, I entered last year a couple of months before my RRV expired, but I'm now in the "wait two years until you're entitled to get a new RRV" phase of things and stuck on-shore, which I'm really not complaining about all that much. My partner  has been granted PR as my spouse and can come and go as she pleases (and we can thank paulhand for that!).

Are you saying that, should I want to have an overseas holiday early next year, it's worth a go applying for another RRV based on the evidence that we've leased a place (may even have bought by then), I've been working, etc etc ?

have you applied for a RRV and been told you have to wait two years or have you not applied since returning to Australia ?

I'm not familiar with a 2 year rule if you can demonstrate substational ties

My current RRV155 expires beginning of May 2022 - I am due to arrive in Australia before expiry.

I have been in Australia for 4 months in the past 5 years. I applied for a RRV155 in early January 2022 in anticipation that my travel facility would expire May 2022. I am now 99 days since submittting the application and the status still shows 'received'

Does anyone know whether my arrival in Australia will trigger the final steps of processing my application ?

I really need to travel at the end of May for family events.

Thanks in advance

Hi, thanks, I lived in Australia for 1 year out of 5

Hello everyone,

I am the holder of a EN186 Permanent Resident visa. The travel facility on the visa is due to expire on March 20th and I am currently in the UK.

I have been working in the UK for over two years and do intend on returning to Australia. I'm trying to work out whether I should try to return to Australia before expiry or apply for a Resident Return visa.

Given what's going on in the world right now my preference would be RRV however the guidance on the website indicates a processing time of up to 4 months as I have been outside of Australia for more than 2 years. This would mean I have a gap where I have no travel facility. I have no significant ties to Australia except calling Australia home.

Does anyone have any experience of similar situation?

Thank you in advance
