Resident Return Visas

Gaining Australian permanent residency is a major milestone — but it’s only the beginning of your journey. Many residents maintain strong ties abroad with loved ones, and naturally wish to travel freely between Australia and their home countries.

Australian permanent resident visas typically include a 5-year travel facility, allowing unrestricted re-entry during that period. However, once this travel facility expires, the automatic right to return no longer applies — only Australian citizens can re-enter without restriction.

That’s where the Resident Return Visa (RRV) becomes essential.

At Wings International, we guide Australian permanent residents through the process of securing their RRV, ensuring you maintain your status and continue to enjoy the freedom to travel without jeopardizing your future in Australia.
