Resident Return Visa

Subclasses 155 and 157 visas

If you leave Australia after your travel validity expires, or it expires when you are outside Australia, you will not be able to return to Australia as a permanent resident. This visa allows you to return as a permanent resident.

What you can do

travel in and out of Australia as many times as you want until the travel validity expires
have a travel facility up to 5 years depending on your circumstances.

Requirements

You must be either

an Australian permanent resident
a former Australian permanent resident whose last permanent visa was not cancelled
a former Australian citizen who lost or renounced Australian citizenship. Australian citizens are not eligible to apply for an RRV.
If you are already in Australia as a permanent visa holder, you do not need to apply for this visa unless you wish to leave and re-enter Australia as a permanent resident.
