CowlingAFC Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 Is it true that your RRV is only valid for the anount of time you have been in Australia as a PR ie; 2year as a PR = 2 year RRV 3year PR = 3 year RRV etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 No. A normal RRV is valid for 5 years but you need to have been in Australia for 2 years to get it. A 1 year RRV is issued to people who've been in Australia for less than 2 years but still qualify for an RRV for other reasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CowlingAFC Posted September 2, 2015 Author Share Posted September 2, 2015 And can you only get 1 RRV? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 Well you can only have one at a time (since the newest one cancels all previous ones even if they haven't expired) but there's no limit to the number you can have in your lifetime.

AJ Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 But if you dont come back for a certain amount of time on your first one, you might find it a lot more difficult to get a second one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 But if you dont come back for a certain amount of time on your first one, you might find it a lot more difficult to get a second one From what I have read, yes. Its kind of like you got your second chance and didn't use it, they may not be keen to hand out a 3rd or more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you've spent 2 years out of the previous 5 years in Australia on PR you automatically qualify for a 5 year RRV. Doesn't matter how many you've had before. Many people don't bother to take up Australian citizenship and so just travel on RRVs. If however you haven't been in Australia for 2 out of the last 5 years the best you can hope for is a 1 year RRV and even then you have to show you have some connection to Australia (i.e. a good reason for giving you the visa).

Yes, the 5 year RRV is given if you've met the 2 year timeframe. After that though, as you said, its far less certain. I think the OP is in Aus atm but wanting to go back to the UK and then possibly return to Aus at a later date. Not sure of the time spent in Aus so far though.

CowlingAFC Posted September 3, 2015 Author Share Posted September 3, 2015 So you don't automatically get a 5 year RRV if you have been here 2years? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bungo Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 So you don't automatically get a 5 year RRV if you have been here 2years? This has been clarified on this thread and on your other thread as well several times. You are still asking the same question though, I would really suggest it is time you walk into a migration agents office and get somebody to walk you through it.
