Resident Return Visa
If you are an Australian permanent resident, or last held an Australian permanent resident visa on last departing Australia, you can apply for a new resident return visa.
If you have physically resided in Australia for at least 2 years or a total of 730 days in the last five years, you may be eligible for a resident return visa valid for 5 years. If you cannot meet this requirement, you may be eligible for either the 5 year visa or a 3 month resident return visa if you can provide evidence that you have substantial business, cultural, employment or personal ties to Australia.
To apply for a Resident Return Visa, you will need to:
- read the information on Form 968i.
See: Form 968i, Return documents for Australian citizens and permanent residents - complete Form 1085 and provide the supporting document indicated on the forms.
See: Form 1085, Application for a resident return visa (RRV) or replacement evidence of an RRV - pay visa application charge.
Please complete and sign the application form and forward application with your visa application charge and all the required additional documents to the Australian Embassy. The average processing time is 1- 2 weeks.
If you wish to have a valid resident return visa transferred from an old passport to a new passport this can be done by completing Form 1085 and paying an application charge.
