Resident Return Visas

The Resident Return visa (RRV) in Australia is for current or former Australian permanent residents, and former Australian citizens, who wish to re-enter Australia as permanent residents. While a permanent residency visa allows you to stay in Australia indefinitely, the travel facility, which permits you to leave and re-enter the country, usually expires after five years. To renew this travel facility, you need to apply for a Resident Return Visa.

There are two main subclasses of Resident Return visas, Subclass 155 and Subclass 157.

Eligibilty Requirements

To be eligible for a Resident Return visa, you generally need to be one of the following

Current Resident

A current Australian permanent resident.

Former Resident

A former Australian permanent resident whose last permanent visa was not cancelled.

Former Citizen

A former Australian citizen who lost or renounced their citizenship.

For Subclass 155 Visa With A 5-Year Travel Facility

For this visa, you generally need to have been present in Australia for at least two years (730 days) in the last five years as a permanent resident or an Australian citizen. This period does not need to be continuous.

If you do not meet the two-year residence requirement, you may still be eligible for a Subclass 155 visa with a 1-year travel facility if you can demonstrate substantial ties to Australia that are of benefit to Australia.
