Is holiday included in the RRV when applying for a 5 year RRV

[AnnetteV]

Hi

I'm wondering if any holiday taken overseas during the 2 year resident requirement is included or excluded when I want to apply for a five year RRV?

Many thanks.

It says on the home affairs website that you need to be resident for 2 years (730 days ) it doesn’t specify if time outside Australia for short periods is included or excluded I would imagine to be on the safe side to add all time outside onto the 730 days so for example if you were outside for 14 days in the 2 years apply after 745 days , perhaps someone with more info can enlighten you

You need to have been physically present in Australia for 730 days in the 5 years before applying. These days do not need to be consecutive, so you just add the total number of onshore days.
