A Resident Return Visa (RRV) allows current or former Australian permanent residents and former Australian citizens to travel overseas and retain their permanent resident status. It essentially acts as a bridge between your existing permanent residency and your return to Australia.

There are two main types of RRVs:

• Subclass 155: This visa has a travel facility of up to five years from the date of grant, allowing you to travel freely outside Australia without losing your permanent residency.
• Subclass 157: This visa has a travel facility of up to three months from the date of grant. It’s primarily meant for situations where you need to make a short trip abroad and plan to return soon.
