Being a permanent resident of Australia is the dream of every student who comes to Australia to study and work. Here the sunshine, the beach and the regional culture of each country, let our heart revel in it. A sound especially law, personal and property security, is a reasonable place. This is why the author`s office cases pile up, behind each case there is a painful and happy story.
Recently, a friend of the author came to the office to consult, his daughter has been granted permanent resident status in Australia, but now back to China to live, I do not know that his visa has exceeded the five-year deadline, can not return to Australia. I heard, sorry for it!
Because too many clients take it for granted :" I am a permanent resident and should be able to return home at any time ." There are rules, however, for law to return to Australia with a valid Australian visa in addition to the Australian citizen. To understand law, act according to law, things are simple and easy to handle. If you don`t understand law, act arbitrarily, then you will only lose yourself.
As an example of the above, Australia`s law rule is that there are two possibilities if someone has acquired permanent resident status in Australia. First may be in Australia, so long as the person does not leave the country, can not be renewed, permanent residence status will not change, visa only facilitate entry and exit.
So if you don`t need to apply for a visa certificate for a long time without your intention to go abroad (usually one a period of one year/five years), the permanent residence visa he holds is also legal; the second possibility is that the person is outside Australia, such as China, then be particularly careful if the visa is renewed in time beyond the time specified in the visa, otherwise the hard-earned permanent resident`s visa will expire unless there are special reasons to retrieve it.

Based on the above situation, is a friend`s daughter, I can only represent her re-application. The application process is extremely difficult, but I am confident that I can apply successfully. Here, I ask Australia`s permanent residents and citizen attention, not to get identity can be arbitrary. The author was previously aware of a case where the citizen, who had successfully applied to Australia had been cancelled because of his misunderstanding of the law citizen. The regulations on immigration law are all in one chapter, and if printed, they will be more than one meter higher, so they can not be revised into books at all.
A large number of immigrants are pouring into Australia now, so please cherish those who already have status, do not be guided by improper law knowledge mistakes, and finally cause visa rejection, regret beyond reach. Please be careful before making a decision, consult the relevant professionals before making a decision. In the author`s office, a large number of rejected cases are due to the wrong guidance. Originally very simple, very easy to get the application, was rejected several times, really gain is not worth the loss! I received a lot of calls, asked me to write more special cases, I will try to meet the requirements of readers.
A case that occurred last year in which a child obtained permanent residence status by applying for a protection visa category many years ago was found to guarantee his father in the application form for a protection visa when he was found to have filled out his father`s residence address different from the information provided recently. Not knowing that the information given at the time of the application was so important, the Immigration Department would have looked through all the old files, so readers should keep in mind that when you re-apply for a 5-year permanent visa, you should not fill it out at will, otherwise it may delay your application and, unfortunately, it is more likely to cause trouble with your original visa. Certainly the best way is to apply for Australian citizen.
Readers can also check out my company`s website (stanleyimmiandlaw.com.au), which contains an introduction to my immigration law published in 2011, Although it is outdated, it is highly readable (although the name of the visa has been changed, but the content of the article is not change).
