Return to Australia
hi all. Ok...here is mine and my family’s situation.
25 August 2011 granted PR visa.
Arrived in Australia 20 June 2012.
moved back to UK 21 june 2015.
havent been back to Australia since leaving.
PR ran out 25 August 2016.
anyone know where we stand in terms of a right to return visa, (whatever it’s called), as we are now wanting to consider moving back??
or Have we missed the boat. I’m thinking we may of done by about 3 months????
Thanks so much in advance.

- 155 visa which is valid for 1 year – you have been in Australia for at least 1 day in the last 5 years as the holder of a permanent residency visa and you have substantial, business, cultural, employment and/or personal ties to Australia which are of benefit to Australia

yep that’s what I thought however looking at variations in the 155 I come across this:

Nil to all of the above Dorothy. Oh well looks like it will be the long route again. I should have thought about this a year or so ago. Never mind

Re: Return to Australia
Based on what you have said, don’t give up that easily, get some advice on how to craft a decent RRV application and see where it takes you. It’s a lot cheaper and easier than any other route back.
