Hi everyone,

My permanent resident visa expires end of this year while I am in UK. I did less than 2 years while in OZ but its still less than 5 years since i left. I know what the criteria is for an RRV but am unsure where I stand.
If I go to Australia next year for a job interview and I enter as a visitor on an eVisitor visa will I lose my right to apply for a RRV after that if I get offered a job? Or will I be able to get an RRV before the job interview as it was a previous employer. still got a pension there and I was waiting for daughter to complete education in UK.

Thanks

If you apply for a visitor visa it MIGHT cause your PR to be cancelled. Some people have got away with it, but we've had a couple on here who have had issues when trying to get a RRV after having a visitor visa.
You'd be better off applying for the RRV first I think.

OK thanks. May be a problem though without genuine job offer rather than interview.
