Is there a time limit for the Australian green card?

In Australia, the permanent residence visa PR has a time limit (usually 5 years). Everyone who gets PR can find this date in VEVO according to the code on the passport and the approval letter.

Look at the example above. Immigrant E got PR on1October 3 1 and 201June. In the following five years (before June 3 10 and 202 10), E was free to enter and leave Australia for n times.

But what about five years later?

Note that in the above picture, the word before 202 1 10 3 1 is "not allowed to arrive later", that is, not allowed to enter the country. In other words, if you don't renew your permanent residence, you can't enter the country.

For little e, he has several ways to live forever.

A: If E decides to stay in Australia forever and never return to China, it doesn't matter to E, and there is no need to apply for any visa.

B: Although E is in Australia, he often goes back to China. In this case, it is best for him to apply for renewal after five years, which is also the practice of many Australian permanent holders. Once the renewal is completed, a five-year permanent visa will be issued. However, it is necessary to ensure the residence time within 5 years and meet the residence for 2 years.

C: If Xiao E has completely returned to China for development and wants to enter Australia after 202 1, 1, 3 1, he must renew his permanent residence and get a visa before entering Australia. However, it is necessary to ensure the residence time within 5 years and meet the residence for 2 years.

For holders who apply for permanent residence abroad, add a "visa deadline" to their visas (domestic residents don't have this date) for the same reason as E above. I won't say any more.

In short, a permanent residence visa in Australia, if you hold it, is not always valid. It requires you to guarantee a certain period of residence before you can renew it for the next five years. Of course, if you become a citizen halfway, you don't need a visa. Directly is a citizen. With an Australian passport, you can travel freely in and out of more than 100 countries.
