Resident Return Visa Processing Time | RRV Processing Time
Consult Adelaide Migration Agent for Shortening the Resident Return Visa Processing Time ( RRV Processing Time )
Why Australian Resident Return Visa?
By virtue of being an Australian citizen, you have the right of entry to and exit out of Australia. But, if you are a non-citizen of Australia, you need a visa to get entry into Australia. In case, you are a Permanent Resident (PR) of Australia and your PT visa has expired, you have to obtain the Australian Resident Return Visa (RRV), under subclass 155 and subclass 157. You can then recover your status as a PR of Australia.
If you consult Adelaide Migration Agent, your Resident returns visa processing time will be minimized and you can get your visa within the processing time as stipulated by the Department of Immigration and Border Protection (DIBP), Australia. Once the visa is granted, you get the travel facility for going in and coming out of Australia for a minimum period of five years.

Stipulation of Subclasses
If you have resided in Australia for at least for two years out of the five years as citizen or resident of Australia, you are entitled to be granted RRV under the subclass 155. For this, you should have specific ties for Australia; such as business, employment, personal or cultural.
If you have legitimately lived even for one day in the past 5 years or have lived less than two years in the immediately past five years in Australia, you will be entitled to get RRV under the subclass 157. You can also get RRV under 157 if you have been staying outside, getting Australian Citizenship for three months. You must exhibit the compelling reason that made you to stay out of the country.
Application Criteria
For lodging your application for RRV, you must have been
- An permanent resident of Australia

Validity of RRV
RRV under subclass 155 is valid for 5 years if you meet the residence requirement of two years and hold the above mentioned ties for Australia. If those are not your circumstances and you have compelling need to travel internationally, you can get RRV under subclass 157 that will be valid for only 3 months.
