Guest Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 Almost certainly not, but you could submit an RRV application and see what happens. 11 years is a long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mohsen Iqbal Posted January 2, 2018 Author Share Posted January 2, 2018 from Borders and Home office there is a clear category RRV 157, it says I can be eligible. For RRV 157, its for those people who have atleast stayed in AUS for 1 legal day. https://www.homeaffairs.gov.au/Trav/Visa-1/155-?modal=/Visas/supporting/Pages/155/subclass-157-visa.aspx Are you are MARA Registered Agent?

Mohsen Iqbal Posted January 2, 2018 Author Share Posted January 2, 2018 @Peach I reckon, the statement is referring to the first initial 5yrs time window stamped in my passport. But still, going word by word, if thats the LAST 5yrs is to be meant, then can I go on a tourist visa and that makes me legally IN Australia in last 5 yrs. Would that be ok? Kindly advice?

Guest Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 No, I’m not a MARA registered agent. Even this language suggest you’d don’t meet the criteria: If you have been outside Australia for more than three continuous months immediately before you apply, you must have a compelling and compassionate reason for the absence. You’ve been outside the country for 11 years.. No you can’t sneak in on a tourist visa and pretend you’ve been here the whole time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 Your cheapest options are: a. Apply for the RRV and see what happens. B. Engage a MARA registered agent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaggieMay24 Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 Speaking to a migration agent would be a good idea. If you haven't been in Australia during the past 11 years, you would typically need to show you have strong ties to Australia in order to be granted a RRV.

Lisa De Leon Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 For grant of 155 visa: If the applicant has been absent from Australia for a continuous period of more than 5 years it is necessary, in addition to the substantial business, cultural, employment or personal ties to Australia, to substantiate compelling reasons for the absence from Australia. Some examples of compelling reasons under policy include but are not limited to: •severe illness or death of an overseas family member •applicant or the applicant’s accompanying family members have been receiving complex or lengthy medical treatment preventing travel •applicant has been involved in legal proceedings such as sale of property, custody, or contractual obligations and the timing was beyond the applicant’s control; •the applicant has been caught up in a natural disaster, political uprising or other similar event preventing them from travel.
