seraphim Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 (edited) This seems like it would be straightforward but I thought I'd ask the forum. We started as PR holders and have applied for citizenship just after deadline (became eligible on the day but the info they wanted (dad's favourite colour, Mums shoe size etc) delayed us a few days, and so the current policy of freeze has stuffed that up a bit, so we are going to need RRV's in case we get an emergency call back to the UK or anyway for a holiday next year. My question is, we arrived (partner, child and myself) on 1 visa application. Do we EACH need an RRV now (i.e 3x RRV's), plus 3 x Fee's of $365, or do we do an RRV as we did the original PR visa, all as one family unit (Child is under 7), for a single fee of $365. Would be great if it cost $365 rather than $1095!!! Thanks! Edited August 7, 2017 by seraphim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJ Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 You all need your own, they are really quick to get so why not wait until you think you are going to travel before you apply Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 I believe it is one each. At least it is for each adult i'm unsure about a child though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need one each, even the kids, as each RRV is linked to a specific visa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 Agree with AJ. Don't bother applying till you actually need them. If you plan on a holiday next year apply nearer the time for them. Could be citizenship is sorted in the meantime too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaggieMay24 Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 Even if you submitted a single application (one primary applicant with partner and child as dependents), you arrived each holding your own visa. So you will each need to get an RRV. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seraphim Posted August 8, 2017 Author Share Posted August 8, 2017 Thanks all, don't suppose the kids one is cheaper? it seems a LOT of money for what is essentially pushing a button to extend my visa travel 5 years, considering citizenship was less than $300 per person!

Guest Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 Why not wait till you actually need them? It may be your citizenship will be sorted before your holiday. Or just get yours done in case of emergency and the rest if actually needed in the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
