RWall95 Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 Hi, I had a Residents Visa (176 I think), is it possible for me to get a Residents Return Visa as mine has expired. Also, after it expired I visited Australia with a E-Visitor Visa. Would this cause issues getting a RRV? Thanks, Ryan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, Ryan I think your Visitor Visa would have cancelled out your 176 so you may not be able to get an RRV. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RWall95 Posted June 15, 2015 Author Share Posted June 15, 2015 So will I have to go through the full process again? Or do you recommend any other visas? My sister is over there with her boyfriend, she is on a residents visa and he is on a working visa. But there are so many visas I am unsure of which to do. I'm pretty new to this as when i lived there before i was 14/15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bungo Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 You may indeed have messed up your chances of getting a RRV by getting that tourist visa, but it has not necessarily cancelled it. The RRV is a funny one, often granted in situations where you really would not expect it to be and when criteria does not appear to be met. I have definitely seen someone have a PR visa as a child, visit on a tourist visa and then apply for a RRV many years later and get it. In my book, it is worth a shot, but do so with an agent like Ian Harrop, who is known for these cases. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wrussell Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 Have you considered the possibility of consulting a registered migration agent? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
