MetalToby Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 Hi all, I've been in Australia now on a partner visa for just over a year. My wife is Australian so I am a permanent resident. We are planning a trip back to the UK in October. Do I need to do anything with my visa for a 3 week trip to the UK? Or can I just come and go? Thanks!

VERYSTORMY Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 As long as the travel portion of your visa is still valid (normally five years from police or medical) then you can just come and go Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks! I'm exactly the same as you but DeFacto, not married. I assume you are on a 100/309 Partner Migration Visa? As VeryStormy says, you are okay to travel as long as you are still within the 5 years travel rights of your visa. If you are outside of that then you will require a RRV (Returning Resident Visa) to re-validate the travel portion of your visa. I would also check on what I've been told by friends that got an RRV and that is:- If you do travel outside of Oz after your travel rights have expired, and you get an RRV, then the timeframe for applying for citizenship can possible be reset to when your RRV is issued. I'm sure someone more knowledgable on here can verify as whether this is correct. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
