Clients will often ask why there is a 5-year travel period on their permanent visas. The simplest answer is so that the visa holder can maintain a close and continuing association with Australia. The general residence criteria for Australian citizenship can be confusing, but put simply - if you have maintained at least 4 years of continuous lawful residence in Australia and have held PR for at least 12 months - you may be eligible to apply for Australian Citizenship (there are certain exemptions e.g. NZ Citizens no longer having to acquire PR or a Ministerial discretion may apply so it is best to check with an Immigration Lawyer or Migration Agent if you think this might be relevant to your situation). If you acquire Australian Citizenship within the 5 years of obtaining your Australian Permanent residency, then the 5-year travel facility may not be a relevant consideration at all. Permanent residents are able to stay in Australia indefinitely from the date of each arrival. Some PR visa holders choose not to apply for Australian citizenship and this could be for various reasons. So, what happens if you wish to travel after the 5-year travel facility ends on your permanent visa? Well, you won't be able to enter Australia unless you hold another visa that permits you to enter. A Resident Return (Subclass 155) visa may be the solution you're looking for. Please feel free to get in touch if you have any questions.

Passport bias drastically affects our ability to travel and relocate. Passports from "developed" countries often get visa-free travel and face less scrutiny during residence permit and visa applications. In contrast, those with less powerful passports experience higher visa rejection rates and longer waiting times, regardless of meeting all requirements. Passports are more than just travel tools. They shape our global opportunities. To improve your chances of visa and permit approvals: - Show reasons to return home: Submit reference letters from family, work, and community to demonstrate strong ties and to your home country. Proving that you have reasons to return home decreases the risk of you overstaying and disappearing into the system. - Maintain a clean travel record: Prove you haven’t overstayed any visas to strengthen your case. If you haven't been able to travel internationally yet and have limited finances, start with smaller trips over the border. Anything to increase the stamps in your passport. - Exceed financial requirements: Showcase financials above the minimum requirement to assure the host country of your financial independence. This, again, decreases the perceived risk of you overstaying. Whether you're hoping to move soon or years down the road, understanding the passport bias working against you can help you prepare early for future opportunities.

Dreaming of spending more time in the EU? 🌍 For US and Canadian citizens, an extended stay can be more complicated than a quick 90-day visit under the Schengen Agreement. But there are ways to legally extend your stay. 🔍 Here’s a breakdown of your options: 1. **Long-Term Visas**: Ideal for work, study, or family reunification. This option requires a valid passport, proof of sufficient financial resources, health insurance, a clean criminal record, and evidence of your purpose. 2. **Residency Permits**: Perfect for those planning to live and work in the EU for 1-5 years. You'll need a valid reason, sufficient financial resources, and a background check. 3. **Permanent Residency**: For the long-haulers who have lived in the EU for at least five years. Requirements include a clean criminal record, proof of financial stability, and sometimes, passing a language test. 🚀 Plan ahead, gather the necessary documentation, and make your extended EU stay a reality! #Offshore #Expatriation #EUVisa #ResidencyPermits #GlobalLiving #TravelHacks>>>https://lnkd.in/gBfqDQZb
