PinkAndFluffy1987 Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 We've been in Australia on our PR visa for a little over two years and we need to return to the UK for a while due to family issues. My question is, when do I need to apply for our residents return visa? Is it when we leave Australia or shortly before PR expires? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

rammygirl Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 Depends when the travel portion of your visa expires. If you tell us that it might help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oddball Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 You have 5 years from the date it was granted, so if you're travelling there and back before that, then you should be fine. Are you past that point? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PinkAndFluffy1987 Posted December 2, 2014 Author Share Posted December 2, 2014 Thanks for the responses. The existing PR visa expires in early 2016, but we probably won't be able to return until 2017, so obviously won't be travelling on the original visa. So is it appropriate to apply offshore for the RRV in late 2015/early 2016 or do we need to do something before we leave Australia? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huggy75 Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 Our PR Visa expired in September 2013, we have just been to UK this last month and applied for the RRV's in October before we flew out. Pretty simple process, did it online and got it granted there and then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
