Guest guest17301 Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 It means that if you don't take citizenship by this date you will have to apply for a return resident visa should you wish to exit Australia and come back again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Guest31881 Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 You have to have held a visa for 4 yrs to take citizenship, As Fiona said when your visa expires you apply for a RRV (residents return visa) or apply for citizenship. The idea behind the 5 yr limit on your visa and applying for an RRV was to stop people getting PR visa, and not living Australia until they were ready to retire (so I am led to believe), so they introduced the RRV and you have to show a commitment to Australia to qualify, Here is the link for info on citizenship http://www.citizenship.gov.au/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B1K3R Posted December 9, 2010 Author Share Posted December 9, 2010 It's all good then :laugh: I don't have any plans leaving OZ once I set ground (unless wife packs everything and heads back home!!!) 4 years and apply for citizenship or do the RRV if needed. Thanks guys, just wanted to check that I am safe regarding the visa/pr stuff. Cheers B!K3R Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
