Resident Return visa (subclasses 155 and 157)

Features

​​​​​A Resident Return visa is a travel facility for:

• current Australian permanent residents

• some former Australian permanent residents

You will need a Resident Return visa if the travel facility on your current visa has expired (your first granted permanent visa has a 5 year travel facility) or is about to expire and you want to travel overseas and retain your permanent resident status.

Departing Australia without a RRV may impact your permanent residency requirements for citizenship.

You must be:

• an Australian permanent resident

• a former permanent resident whose last permanent visa was not cancelled

• a former Australian citizen who lost or renounced your citizenship.

 

Length of stay

​This is a permanent visa that has a travel facility of up to 5 years.
