Sukumar Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 Hi I read the visa subclass 137 STNI is repealed in 2012. How does one apply for a RRV to reenter Australia? I am now outside Australia and did not apply for RRV as I had a multiple entry/exit which expired in 2011. Thanks for any advice / guidance.

VERYSTORMY Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 When did you enter Australia and when did you leave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sukumar Posted July 30, 2018 Author Share Posted July 30, 2018 Very stormy & Paul - Thanks for your reply. I landed in Australia May, 2006 and left in the same month. Understood I could apply for RRV under subclass 155 or 157. The notice of repeal for sub-class 137 had us worried if we were eligible to apply for RRV. Thanks for your guidance.

That means you never actually lived in Australia, which means you can't satisfy the residency requirements to qualify for a RRV. Therefore, the only way you can get a RRV is to give very good reasons why you were absent from Australia, and also provide evidence of ties of benefit to Australia. Since you haven't visited Australia in all that time, I don't fancy your chances. https://www.homeaffairs.gov.au/trav/visa-1/155-?modal=/visas/supporting/Pages/155/have-ties-of-benefit-to-Australia.aspx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VERYSTORMY Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 I agree with Marissa, I think it will be hard to get an RRV based on that you never really lived there and the only visit was 12 years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
