nic0218 Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 Hi there, Just a quick question. We got our 175 perm resident visa in June 2011 and will be going out to Aus in Feb to validate the visa. But we need to return to Uk to sell our house..pack up etc. My understanding was that we didn't need to get a returning resident visa, until our 5 years was up?! Is that correct, just having a minor panic that I've overlooked something...and that when we finally go out to AUS again they'll say "you need to have xyz..."! Thanks in advance for any replies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shirleyt Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 We are also making a validation trip in feb. I believe once your whole family has passed through passport control your visa is validated and is valid for 5 years from day of grant, you do not have to do anything else except enjoy your holiday. Have you sorted out where to stay yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ali Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 No - this visa is for 5 years, so after your validation trip you don't need to do anything else .... other than sell your house. Enjoy your stay in Aus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nic0218 Posted January 24, 2012 Author Share Posted January 24, 2012 Hi Shirley, Thanks for you reply. Yes we have somewhere to stay sorted! My brother lives in QLD, so we're invading his house for a couple of weeks. Then back to the UK to sell our house!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
