If you have an occupation on the skills list, you could go down the skilled PR route. The advantage is that it is cheaper.
If not, then you are going to need a new spouse visa.

I recall that a few people on here in the past have been granted RRVs having previously been issued with a Visitor visa, so I don't necessarily believe it's a given that your PR has been cancelled.
Not being on Vevo certainly doesn't prove it. I know of people that should be there but aren't on it.

It looks like you have managed to cancel your PR. As a result, as mentioned above, you have two choices.
If you have an occupation on the skills list, you could go down the skilled PR route. The advantage is that it is cheaper.
If not, then you are going to need a new spouse visa.

See DIBP website:
"You must be:
an Australian permanent resident
a former permanent resident whose last permanent visa was not cancelled
a former Australian citizen who lost or renounced your citizenship."

This is not actually the case. RRVs are available to former permanent residents as well as current ones. The eligibility criteria are basically the same i.e. demonstrating ties, which the OP clearly has.

The "new visa cancels the previous one" may be true, but it does NOT cancel the opportunity for anyone who has once been a PR to apply (or reapply) for an RRV.

There is never a guarantee, but what you said was incorrect. You said "the only option would be a new spouse visa - expensive". This is not the case as the OP has a pretty good chance of getting an RRV as a former PR (if, indeed, that is what she is).
The "new visa cancels the previous one" may be true, but it does NOT cancel the opportunity for anyone who has once been a PR to apply (or reapply) for an RRV.

I deliberately did not make any comment because I know she may be able to get a RRV, Instead I said that the only way to know is to apply.
