Marisawright Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 Do you have any family left in the UK or are they all in Australia? If they're all in Australia, you might still be able to get a RRV (resident's return visa) on the basis of strong ties to Australia. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VERYSTORMY Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 You can get a normal visitor visa, but be aware it may cancel any other visa. Or you could apply for a resident return visa which would reactivate you PR travel rights, though there is no gauruntee of grant and it may take longer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrussell Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 Applying for an ETA might be your best strategy: https://www.eta.immi.gov.au/ETAS3/etas 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
