Resident Return Visa?
Hi Everyone
We emigrated to Oz on an Skilled Sponsored Visa April 2005. We returned to England in July 2005, due to personal problems. We are comtemplating returning to Oz in 2 years time after our eldest daughter has completed her English Exams. What are the restrictions on this? Considering that we have been back in England for 6 months now? Will it involve a residents return visa or a new application? We are considering al options. Triumph |

Triumph If it's after that, you can only apply for a RRV if you are still in Australia before your visa expires. If you are not in Australia and your visa expires then you will have to reapply again.

An RRV can be a counter exercise or take months, depends on whether you've got the two years in the past 5 under your belt or are making a special case. Cheers, George Lombard www.austimmigration.com.au |

And it's much easier to make a "special case" if you are clearly living in Australia (as a PR), even if you haven't got the full 2 years. However, just visiting won't do, normally. |
