Resident return visa cost explained. A registered migration agent in Brisbane breaks down the RRV government charge, what adds to it, and how to keep costs down.
A resident return visa (RRV) has a government application charge that’s relatively modest compared with most permanent visas, and for a straightforward application that charge is usually the only cost. The RRV, subclass 155 or 157, is the visa permanent residents use to keep their travel facility so they can leave and re-enter Australia after their existing travel period expires. On top of the base charge, your total can rise if you use a professional to prepare a borderline case, if you need to gather evidence of your ties to Australia, or if your circumstances mean you’re only eligible for a shorter validity. Because government charges are set by the department and change over time, we give you the current figure in a consultation rather than quote a number that dates. Here’s what the cost is actually made of.
This guide is general information to help you get your bearings. Migration and citizenship rules — and especially fees and processing times — change often, so the smartest next step is a quick, honest read on your own situation. Our registered migration agent and qualified education consultant work under one roof, so your visa and study plans line up.
