Unrestricted travel to and from Australia is a privilege exclusive to Australian citizens. For those not wishing to, or not yet eligible for, Australian citizenship, maintaining permanent residency and the ability to settle in Australia is possible through Resident Return visas (RRV).

The RRV is for current or former Australian permanent residents, as well as former Australian citizens. It allows them to travel abroad and return to Australia as permanent residents once the travel facility on their permanent visa has expired.

Permanent residency visas typically include a five-year travel facility from the date of visa issuance. This allows the visa holder to leave and re-enter Australia. When this facility nears expiration or has expired, permanent residents should secure a Resident Return visa to maintain continuous access to Australia.
