Australia Visa Information - Bangladesh - Visa Types

Who should apply?

Permanent residents of Australia need to have a valid visa in order to be able to return to Australia. The initial visa issued to new migrants is valid for multiple entries to Australia for a period of five years. If this visa has expired, and you have not acquired Australian citizenship, you will need to apply for a Resident Return visa in order to return to Australia.

Resident Return:

The Resident Return visa is generally valid for 5 years. However, if you are unable to satisfy the legislative requirements for grant of a 5 year Resident Return visa you will be considered against the legislative requirements for a 3 month Resident Return visa.

Re-evidencing a Resident Return Visa
A valid resident return visa (subclass 155 /157), which is in a lost or expired passport, can be re-evidenced into a new passport. You are required to submit a completed application form 1085 and pay the appropriate processing fee.
