fizzybangs Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 I believe there is a time limit for you to be allowed to return. Check out the facts or return and become an Aussie citizen and then you can come and go as you please! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was laid off here on Friday,it has put the whole experience of coming back to the UK in turmoil!!!!!!!!!!!!! I understand that about the residency now,the penny dropped,online applications cost $300,all good. I want to go back to Oz.............. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jacaranda Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 I believe you have to spend 4 years living in Oz now to become a citizen.I've renewed my RRV twice now (been in the UK a few years)so I doubt you'll have much trouble.If you go on the Immi website,you'll be able to download the appropriate forms.

No, I'm a 'ping pong Pom' and ticked 'permanently leaving Australia' on my departure card both times! The man at passport control still said 'welcome home' when I returned!
