Sorry I am going to be a bit vague but we had a lady work with us who found a sharing situation - not sure what website she looked on. Unfortunately she no longer works with us and has since left Sydney
: Lawrence,
:
: I have a similar situation. I received my
: Permanent Resident Visa a month before I
: left Australia,
: returning later for a 4 month stay - which
: ONLY gives me 5 months of residence time. I
: am currently living in the US.
: The RRV in my passport expires on 13 January
: 2008. I contacted immigration thru their
: website
: (and would suggest you do the same for
: clarification for your particular situation)
:
: www.immi.gov.au
:
: and received the following information:
: "You will be permitted to continue to
: live and work in Australia provided
: you enter the country before your present
: RRV expires. As of January 14,
: 2008 your current RRV will expire. You will
: have to qualify for a new RRV
: in order to leave and re-enter
: Australia."
:
: I don't know the formula for resident time
: to qualify for a new rrv but I suspect it is
: 2 years...since that is the time required
: for my current original 5 year rrv
: visa....with one year required prior to the
: expiration date in order to get a new rrv
: effective of 14 Jan 2008.
:
: Time is quickly running out for me! And due
: to the spiraling high rental costs and being
: on my own - no partner or employer
: assistance - I am currently looking for a
: room to rent or flat share - at least for a
: minimum of 6 months while I look for a job
: and a place to live. I have checked
: realestate.com.au, domain.com.au,
: gumtree.com.au but it has been very
: difficult to try to arrange something from
: outside of Australia especially due to the
: shortage of rental properties.

: Hello – I was wondering if anyone has any
: ideas about the following: I lived in
: Australia for about four years and applied
: for a PR visa during my last year in the
: country. The visa was approved and I
: completed the process, but I had moved back
: to the US at that point. I have the PR visa
: in my passport and returned to Australia for
: a short stay so that it would be activated.
: I think I have about two years left on this
: visa but am now living in the US. Is it
: possible for the visa to be renewed if I am
: outside Australia? Are there any
: requirements that need to be met so that it
: can be renewed? or will I end up losing the
: visa if I do not move back before it
: expires? Or is this visa not valid because
: I have been outside of the country? Just
: wondering if anyone else was ever in this
: situation. Thanks for any ideas. I was
: hoping to come back some day, but time moves
: very fast.
