Hi
Hoping you can offer me some advice please. I arrived in Aus 18m ago on a RRV. I have renewed my visa once. I have travel plans to meet up with family in just a couple of weeks overseas. Something this evening prompted me to log on to VEVO check and looking at the result I see that my visa reads that
"Multiple entries to and from Australia during the validity of your visa Must not arrive after May 17 2025"

I am now extremely worried. Last time I renewed it took about 4 weeks from memory to receive email confirmation. As I only have 2 weeks before I fly, does this now mean I can not travel as I wouldn't be allowed entry back into Australia?

Yes, that's correct. I'm guessing you were issued a 1 year RRV? Unless of course it was a 5 year one granted a while before you entered Aus. You'll need to get a new RRV before you leave in order to re-enter Australia.
As you've only been back 18 months, you won't meet the 2 year residency required for an automatic 5 year RRV, which means you'll need to provide the evidence that you are now resident in Aus and have plenty of ties - rental/mortgage details, income etc, and then you should get a 1 year (or possibly a 3 month) RRV. And because its discretionary, not automatic, the grant may take a while, as before.
Sorry its not what you need to hear. It may come through in time , but there is no guarantee.

Thanks for the reply. No that's not great news. Yes my visa was 1 year as I haven't been here 2 years or more. Is there some sort of temporary or bridging visa are you aware that would allow me to take the vacation and return?

Unbelievably, after a couple of talks with the friendly agents at Home Affairs, my problem is resolved! Feel free to delete or close this post Pollyana. Thank you!

Excellent! glad they were able t sort it for you
