Question on RRV 155- Please help

[Manish Mirani]

Hello Forum Members

I would appreciate if someone can throw light on my situation.
I already have a 155 RRV that expires on 5th Feb2025.
I am currently in Japan and would like to extend the time further if I satisfy the conditions.

Below are movement days as per record and I have lived in Australia for total
741 days since my first entry on 31/12/2017.
 

Is my understanding correct that 31/12/2022 would be the last qualifying date
to re-apply for 155 RRV to have a further 5 year extension?

Thank you in advance.

Looks like it to me. Although it won’t be an extra 5 years taking you to 2030  just 5 years from grant so an extra couple of years or so.

You won't get a further 5 years, you'll get 5 years from the date you're granted the new RRV.

Technically, it’s a bit later than that (by 13 days) but I wouldn’t cut it that fine. As mentioned, you would get 5 years from grant.

Thank you for your comment.

May I ask for some further clarification.

My current RRV is issued on 5th Feb 2020 and next application date lets say is 31st Dec 2022.

In that case, the new 5 year term will be 5 year from 31st Dec 2022. 

Is my understanding correct?

I heard that if the government stopped granting 5 years RRV for applicants who are overseas>=?

 

Many thanks in advance.

Paul Hand has advised you not to wait until 31st December.  Apply a few weeks earlier to allow for delays etc.   Your new 5 year term will start from the date your RRV is approved, not the date you apply.

No, the government has not stopped granting 5 year RRV to overseas applicants.  If you meet the "2 years out of 5 years" criteria, you are entitled to a 5 year RRV no matter where you are.  Many people are refused because they do not meet the criteria.

Thank you @Marisawright Sorry- I overlooked Pauls message!

Noted that it will be 5 years from date it is granted.

So that would be additional 2 years to current visa expiry on Feb 2025.

Thanks @paulhand

I read it on one of the forums.

I suppose as long as one satisfies the condition it should not be an issue.
