Hi everyone - New User
Hi, my name is Rinali and I am pleased to meet you all. I am from India - Mumbai, however have been living in Dubai for the last couple of years.
I have already got my PR visa and it expires early next year. I wish I had known of this site earlier - there is so much information to be found!

Give it a couple of weeks and you'll be addicted as the rest of us ?

Hello Rinali,
Welcome. We also found this forum late but I think it remains helpful throughout the different stages ( also amusing, supportive, infuriating etc!)

You get a Residents Return Visa in your passport valid for 5 years, and it needs renewing, IN Australia, every 5 years.
If you happen to be out when it expires, you get interesting problems. I know, it happened to me !!
It was touch and go, being allowed back to stay, at one stage.

Could always go for citizenship after 2 I suppose to save the hassle.

I got back in on a visitor visa, the electronic one, and then argued my case in person in Sydney.
I thought it would be simple, I had an Australian Wife, an Australian Daughter, a house in Sydney, and they still needed form after form filled in, with two interviews. It's exhausting just thinking about it again.
sjn, Yes, you are right, and my reasons did excuse me
and Citizenship is the best way to go.
