Living in Australia for at least two years (can be accumulative) in the last 5 years prior to lodging your visa you will automatically be granted a new 5 -year Permanent Residence Visa.
If you have spent less than 2 years in Australia, then you may be eligible for a one-year RRV. You would need to present ties you have to Australia such as employment, investment, family or business ties.
Speak to us how best to present your RRV application and what to do in the lag time between lodgement and assessment.
No, generally not.
A bridging visa is granted automatically if an applicant has applied for a visa from a substantive visa and the visa which they have applied from expires but the new one they have applied for has not yet been granted. To keep someone lawfully in Australia while the new visa application is being assessed, that person automatically goes onto a Bridging visa A.
If they want to travel outside of Australia while their visa is being assessed, then they need to apply for a Bridging visa B. At all times, a visa holder must avoid being in Australia without a valid visa or a Bridging visa. People who are unlawfully in Australia are placed on a Bridging visa E which requires them to depart Australia immediately. This usually carries a three-year restriction on any temporary visa that allows re-entry into Australia.
As a visa holder, you can use VEVO to check your current visa details and conditions.
Juan applied for a Spouse Visa (Provisional 309) in March 2011 and got her Permanent Visa (Subclass 100) in August 2012.

I met my husband, Rainer, an Australian of Norwegian background, and an IT Technician, in Jan 2008 and we got married in China in Jan 2010. At that time, I was working in Nanjing, China and my husband was working in Sydney, Australia. We had to live separately even after we got married, which was very grievous for a recently married couple.
