Red Rose Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 Hi there, I was issued a 190 (Permanent Residency) visa in July 2013. I think this visa needs to be renewed every 5 years. Arrived in Oz in November 2013. Submitted Citizenship application in January 2018. Flying to the UK for a holiday on 31 May and return to Oz mid June 2018. Don't plan on going overseas again this year and until I have the Oz Passport. Any need to apply for any sort of bridging visa in the interim to cover my holiday to the UK in May / June ? Thanks helpful peeps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rammygirl Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 As long as your current visa travel portion does not run out until after you are back in Australia you will be fine. Just a word of caution though, you need to be on Australian soil when your citizenship is approved, so if you have the test before you go then you must let them know your travel plans. My son got his approval almost instantly after the test but some people have been waiting for months! We applied at Christmas and are planning holidays abroad in May and July so I am hoping we get the test and approval before then, but I am not hopeful. Our visa was granted in Jan 2014 so we should be OK to travel until we get citizenship without needing an RRV, provided we can get a ceremony by Australia Day 2019!

Red Rose Posted February 22, 2018 Author Share Posted February 22, 2018 Thanks Rammygirl, it would be a very nice surprise if the citizenship was approved or if I even have the test prior to 31 May, I will be amazed if it is, but then again my application is pretty straight forward. Good luck with your application ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dawarkesh Panchal Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 Dear sir As you shall be aware that the visa is valid for only 5 years from specified date. if you are planing to embark on a holiday after your multiple entry visa's validity expires i suggest you apply for a RRV to avoid hassles on returning to Aus.
