Vickit89 Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 Hi all. I was granted PR May 2016. Application for citizenship sent in January 2018. Overseas travel to UK for 5 weeks coming up September 2018. Do i need a bridging visa it is my PR status enough? Thanks in advance. Having a small freak out as hadn't even thought about a bridging visa, i called the immi hotline to advise the dates i will be overseas.

Marisawright Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 When you are granted PR, you are given a 5 year travel facility. What that means is, you can travel to and from Australia as often as you like for 5 years. You're still within that 5 years, so you're fine. Citizenship is not a visa. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vickit89 Posted August 11, 2018 Author Share Posted August 11, 2018 Thank you! You are confirming what I was thinking but that little bit of doubt snuck in there! You have saved me a long wait on hold to immi again, greatly appreciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
