This will be in effect from the date of granting the visa to the date of expiry of the visa. In case you want to travel after the validity period, you will have to apply for a Resident Return (RRV). If granted, it will allow you to again enter Australia as a permanent resident. You can also consider getting Australian citizenship. If you are granted Australian citizenship, you will not require a visa to enter Australia. In case you want to get Australian citizenship, you will have to apply for an Australian passport. You will have to use the passport to leave and re-enter Australia

There will be an extra charge for each family member who applies for the visa. The visa payment can be done in instalments.

You may be required to submit extra money for biometrics, health checks, and police certificates.
The processing time is not specified by us in this category. This type of visa can get delayed due to queuing and capping.
