Resident Return Visa (RRV)
“Safeguard Your Permanent Residency While Traveling Abroad.”
As an Australian permanent resident, maintaining your residency status is crucial, especially when planning to travel internationally. The Resident Return Visa (RRV) ensures that your ability to re-enter Australia remains intact, allowing you to travel with confidence.
By securing a Resident Return Visa, you’ll enjoy:
- Uninterrupted re-entry into Australia as a permanent resident
- Multiple entries during the visa's validity period
- Peace of mind knowing your residency status is protected while abroad
This visa is ideal if you:
- Are a current or former Australian permanent resident
- Are a former Australian citizen who lost or renounced citizenship
- Intend to travel overseas and return to Australia as a permanent resident
