Resident Return Visa (RRV) – Reconnect with Your Australian Residency

Foreign residents who were once Australian permanent residents or citizens must apply for the RRV to return after time abroad. This visa helps re-establish residential status with lawful reentry.

Kritin Global offers expert help selecting the correct RRV subclass and preparing your application with confidence.

This visa allows permanent residents to return to Australia with full PR rights and work freedom.
