Applying for new PR while your existing PR is not expired
I have unusual question. Is possible to apply for the new PR (from the scratch) while my existing PR is still valid?
The reason for this could be that I don't qualify for the 5 years RRV and new PR visa will give me chance to have another 5 years. From other side if my new PR application will be rejected then I will move to Australia to keep existing PR visa. Anyone faced the same dilemma? |

Re: Applying for new PR while your existing PR is not expired
My PR expires next year. Thanks for the advises. I am aware of the process change.
To clarify my question: 1. Is there any DIAC regulation preventing to apply to the new RP while having existing RP? 2. Does anyone has similar experience? |

You can apply for any visa you want, nothing to stop you doing what you suggest.

You could apply for any new visa ... but if you plan on living in Australia, why dont u just go there before your current PR expires?

I think OP knows he can move to Australia before the current visa expires. The question is can he apply for another PR visa, presumably because moving before the current one expires is tricky for whatever reason.

Tricky one as it gives you an extra 5 years would be interested in how that would pan out.
Also isnt it not that your PR doesn't expire just the travel period? How does that work if you want to go back on holiday would they not let you in? |

If you are outside, and you don't meet the requirements for a RRV - for instance you have only visited once in 5 years, for a week - you cannot travel to Aus because you have no right of entry. http://www.immi.gov.au/migrants/residents/ If you want to come back on holiday after the expiry date you would need to get a tourist visa of some kind |

The PR visa has a date on it, five years from grant date "MUST NOT ENTER AFTER...." That's the travel portion and that expires. After five years you either need to have become a citizen or to get a RRv in order to travel in and/or out of Australia.

What if you came back on a tourist and just started again on the PR as you would still technically be resident wouldnt you?
if you came back on a tourist visa before the expiry of your original visa, that tourist visa would cancel your PR...maybe I didn't understand your question? |
