tobydog Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 Our family are all Australian Citizens, and have been living here for 10 years. My uncle who came out to Australia in 1960 and stayed with his parents in Australia for 11 years before retuning to the UK as a 13 year old. Can any body tell me what status he would have entered Australia on . He wishes to return to Australia to be with his family,is he eligible for a returning resident visa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VERYSTORMY Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 He can investigate if citizenship was obtained before he left. If not, then a RRV would be his only hope. But it would be a pretty slim hope. If that fails, then I can not see any visa option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be allowed to return, you will need to apply for a Resident Return Visa (RRV), but after all this time, it's unlikely you would get one. You see, to get a RRV, you need to demonstrate that you still have "strong ties to Australia" and it doesn't sound like you have any. Otherwise your only hope is to find out if you'd be eligible to apply for a new skilled visa. Edited June 7, 2019 by Marisawright Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you have other family still in the UK? If most of your family is still in Australia, it might be worth a try. However you will need a good migration agent to help you prepare a case.
