RJR 0 Posted November 12, 2021 Hi I had PR for Australia subclass 190 from India back in 2016 which got expired in March 2021. I stayed in Australia for 7 months and had to come back to India as my sister was diagnosed with terminal cancer. I am planning to travel back to Australia on RRV 155/157. What are my chances?

paulhand 824 Posted November 12, 2021 You will need to demonstrate that you have substantial ties to Australia which are of benefit to Australia. Depending on when you were last in Australia you may need to demonstrate that you have compelling reasons for your absence of over 5 years. This timing will also affect whether you are eligible for a 157 if your 155 application is unsuccessful. ____________________________________________________________________ Paul Hand Registered Migration Agent, MARN 1801974 SunCoast Migration Ltd All comments are general in nature and do not constitute legal or migration advice.

But as someone who is looking to buy a house in Adelaide you will need much more than this. Probably double to find a reasonable house in a reasonable suburb.

Tell me about it houses near us are going for silly money hundreds of thousands more than asking prices! And more boards appeared last week. To the OP promising an investment won’t help but having a significant sum in an Aus bank, a rental or work contract would help with significant ties.

If you do not meet the residency requirement for a RRV, it can take months to process.
