sir, in your statement: <u> " I was referring to the period from time the initial entry is made and the expiry date"</u>
there is actually an effect.. especially if you entered with less than 4 years before your visa expiration date.. you will need an RRV to re-enter AU after your visa expiration date....

tatagalugin ko na lang
oo alam ko ang expiration date ang ibig kong sabihin ganito inde naman siguro sasayangin ng tao yung inapply nyang VISA at sigurado ako inde sya mag sstay sa labas ng australia hanggang mag expire ang visa nya so out of the debate na yung expiration date oo gets ko yung RRV ..... so it mean e babalik at babalik sya before mag expire and visa nya ....
nabasa ko din na ang RRV is applicable only if bumalik sila after the expiration date ...

If you want to return to Australia after your current visa expires, you should apply for a visa before you leave Australia.
ang punto ko walang problem kung matatagalan silang bumalik pero within the expiration date
ang effect lang naman e yung matatagalan ka mag apply ng citizenship which i think is not a very big deal since PR sya he still enjoys the all the benefits that a citizen got ... pwera lang ang bumoto
