So again, if mag initial entry ka, and then next entry mo is under 4 years na lang PR mo (kunyari 3.5 yrs valid na lang), then pag nag expire yung visa, it's either you apply for PR again (which is another gastos) OR hindi ka na muna lalabas ng Australia until mapa-approve mo citizenship and fulfill the 4 years.

let me just clarify the statement...
<u>not have been absent from Australia for more than one year</u><b> in the past 4 years, </b><u>including no more than 90 days in the year</u> before applying.</i></blockquote>
Medyo kinabahan ako sa mga nabasa ko about this haha!
But anyway thank you sa pag-share ninyo at pag-clarify.
From what I understand, Jellybean wants to apply for citizenship prior to her PR visa expiry. Kaya she is suggesting na wag patagalin ng 1 year ang absence sa AU from your visa approval, kase you're left with 4 yrs na after that. BUT within these 4 years, you can actually leave au naman, max of 1 year. So technically, you only need to be in au for the last 3 yrs if walang uwian.
But yes, I agree, no harm in getting the RRV para di nakakastress at nakakabilanggo sa au hehe... if you intend to get the RRV then yung 4 years before your citizenship application ang icoconsider nila.
Example ng pagcalculate ng years:
January 2015 - target citizenship application
2014 ---> allowed to leave au max 90 days (approx 3 months)
2011-2013 ---> allowed to leave au max 9 months total
OR
2012-2014 ---> walang uwian
2011 ---> max 12 months na uwi
I hope I got it correctly....
