Planning to renew your Australia permanent residency visa?

HOW TO RENEW YOUR AUSTRALIA PERMANENT RESIDENCY VISA?

1) Physical residence in Australia.

Being resident in Australia for at least two years in the period of five years (only permanent residence may be counted) immediately before renewing your visa application will greatly enhance your eligibility for the visa subclass 155 Resident Return visa (RRV).

2) If you are not able to meet the above residence requirement, you may still be eligible for the RRV if you can evidence substantial ties such as business, cultural, employment or personal ties with Australia.


Business Ties
Examples of business ties:
a) Being involve with an Australian business or an overseas branch of an international business with business ties to Australia.
b) Being involved in an ongoing business activity which generates revenue for Australia.
c) Being involved in a business activity which transfers technology to or from Australia.


Cultural Ties
a) Cultural pursuits conducted at a professional level (with a degree of public recognition) which enrich life in Australia, raise profile of Australian achievements overseas or increase international goodwill or respect for Australia.


Employment Ties
Examples of employment ties:
a) Employed in Australia by an Australian company.
b) Acceptance of a formal offer of employment in Australia.
c) Employed outside Australia by Australian organisations.
d) Employed by an organisation whose activities are beneficial to Australia.


Personal Ties
Examples of personal ties:
a) Long term residence in Australia before the five years prior to the application.
b) Ownership of a home or other major personal assets in Australia.
c) Close family members who are Australian citizens or permanent residents living in Australia.

* Evidence to demonstrate ties with Australia is assessed on a case by case basis.

Hi Nancy,

When you say renew your PR are you talking about applying for RRV or something else?

BTW once you've made 5 good posts you'll be able to put links in your posts but please read the forums terms and conditions since unsolicited links will be deleted. All business information should be in your signature - until you've made 5 posts you won't have access to the private messaging system either otherwise I would have sent you a PM on this stuff

Regards,
Karen

Hi Karen,

Yes, renewing of PR is actually referring for the application for a Resident Return Visa (RRV).

Thanks for highlighting this to me. I will take note of putting links in post.

Nancy

Hello Nancy,
Myself, my wife and 2 kids had Australian PR and unfortunately the re-entry permit expired on Aug 15 2008. I have not lived in Australia for 2 years in the last cycle of 5 years. Iam employed in Singapore and have Asiapac Management responsibility for IT of 13 countries including Australia. Can you or your firm help us make an appeal on this or other ground to apply for RRV. Will appreciate a call from you at your convenience.

Hi Rafiqul,

Please be careful about posting personal information on a open forum since anyone can see it.

Also Nancy hasn't posted on this forum for a month but we do have other agents on the forum such as Alan Collett and SOMV (Veronika) who may be able to help. You can contact them through their links in their signature.

Regards,
Karen
