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....

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 ...
http://www.immi.gov.au/migrants/residents/155/
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

yung IED is for the first entry only, kailangang dumating ka sa AU by that date..
kaya lang naman umaalis muna ng AU ang iba, dahil may mga current commitment pa sa work or nagiipon pa ng baon para sa permanent move..
but yes, kung ready kana, ayos na ayos yan..

1.) di po ba ang citizeship is after 4 years?...accumulated po ba to?..meaning, kung labas masok ka ng australia, basta ma-satisfy mo ang 4 years or 48 months (12months x 4) or 1,460 days (365 days x 4 years) bago mag-apply ng citizenship?...sino po responsible sa pagcompute ng days mo to apply for citizenship, sarili po ba natin?
2.) eto pa po, yung statement na "Must Not Arrive After" 05 June 2018, yun po ba ang date of expiration ng Visa?...dapat po ba maka-apply ng citizenship bago mag-end ang date na to? plus dapat satisfied ang 4years (accumulated?) stay mo sa Au (plus other factors)??
3.) Kapag po ba pumasok ako ng Au ng March 2014, I must complete the 4-year, physically present, nang nasa Au bago mag-expire visa ko ng June 2018 to be a citizen?...so, kung hindi ako lalabas ng Au, pwede na ako maging citizen by March 2018...eh paano po kung pagdating ng June 5, 2018 (expiration of visa) ay mga 3years and 11 months (or kulang due to labas masok sa Au) lang na-accumulate ko na physically present ako sa au, tapos mageexpire na visa ko, do i need to apply for the RRV? so bale, hindi ako pwedeng mag-appy for citizenship kung ganun??
pasensya, medyo nalilito po kse ako sa computation ng days from the day na i need to arrive to Au, to gain citizenship before visa expiration, to do away with the RRV, and stuff like that...

1. yes total number of months in australia.. kahit lumabas ka, i add lahat ng stay mo sa AU.
2. tehcnically dapat maka-apply ka ng citizenship before the visa expiration date.. or kung hindi mo pa ma-satisfy ang residency requirement (4 yrs), pwede ka pa rin nmn mag stay sa AU, beyond the "must no arrive after" date... yun nga lang pag lumabas ka ng AU, kailangan mo ng RRV to re-enter AU..
3. same as my explanation sa no. 2

pag binasa mo mabuti, kailangan lang eh atleast 3yrs ka tumira sa AU (within 4 years before applying for citizenship). at marami pang ibang conditions..
kaya nga ako, nag settle na rin kasi within 4 yrs expire na ang visa ko...
at ayaw ko nmn mag RRV pa.. kaya sakto na after 4 yrs eh maka apply na citizenship..
kaya... punta na dito.. hehe..
