Resident Return Visa services

I have been advising permanent residents on Resident Return Visa matters since the early 2000s. In that time, I have seen every variation of the substantial ties test — from straightforward renewals to complex cases involving extended absences, family circumstances, and employment overseas.

The most common mistake I see is applicants lodging without understanding what the Department is actually looking for. An expired travel facility does not mean your permanent residency is at risk — but a poorly prepared RRV application can result in a refusal that is difficult to reverse. I prepare every application with the same rigour I apply to tribunal and court matters.

I am a solicitor admitted to the High Court of Australia, a Fellow of the Migration Institute of Australia (FMIA), and a member of the Law Council of Australia. I am not a migration agent — I am a lawyer with full court rights and 32 years of legal experience. Read more about my practice →
