Are you sure that wasn't under the old rules, and the transitional arrangements that ended on 30 June? Out of interest, why not put your dates in to the calculator again today and see what you get?

I suspect you used the calculator in June (I'm guessing your permanent residency was granted before 1 July 2007).

Try this.

Yes, I know where it is...but have you tried it this month with your dates? (I can't try it for your dates anyway, as you haven't fully given them).

Mikail

My Input:
Permanent Resident date: 29/8/2007
Intended date of lodgement: 17/07/2010(today)
Lawful residence: 15/01/1981 (My first student visa)

Period outside of Australia: 29/03/2010 to 10/04/2010.

and that is it.

Erm...and your period outside of Australia from 1987-2007?

Mikail

I only input the very recent i.e. absence since obtaining PR.
Mikail

roaringmouse

You weren't in Australia for that period, so perhaps you should now go back to the calculator and put in your dates correctly.

roaringmouse

And that includes the absence from August 2007 (or whenever you returned after validation) to February 2008.

Mikail

Yup. All is well when I keyed in all the dates not in Oz since obtaining PR..

As Roaringmouse is trying to explain, you need to put in to the calculator ALL dates not in Australia (at least in the last four years) REGARDLESS of whether you had PR at the time or not.

roaringmouse

And you included that dates you weren't in Australia from 1987 or whenever you left then too?

Mikail

I also tried all the absences from Oz since 1981. All is well.

Mikail

Can you post all your dates here?

Does Citizenship residency requirements (during last four years) starts from date of any valid visa validation? or from the date a valid visa granted? Is it the same case for PR visa?
