澳洲居民返回签证
Resident return visas (RRV) allow eligible current or former Australian permanent residents or citizens travel internationally and return as permanent residents. For PR holders, unrestricted travel in and out of Australia is limited to 5 years from the date their visa is granted. An RRV is necessary once this travel facility expires.
Is a Resident Return visa right for you?
You should apply for an RRV If you have spent 2 of the last 5 years living in Australia and a current or former Australian permanent resident or a former Australian citizen who has lost or resigned your citizenship and wish to continue to travel internationally and return to Australia as a permanent resident.
You will then be allowed to travel in and out of Australia as many times as you want until the travel validity expires.
