Hello Forum Members
I would Appreciate if someone can throw light on my situation.
I already have a 155 RRV that expires on 5th Feb2025.
I am currently in Japan and would like to extend the time further if I satisfy the conditions.
Below are movement days as per record and I have lived in Australia for total
741 days since my first entry on 31/12/2017.
Is my understanding correct that 31/12/2022 would be the last qualifying date
to re-apply for 155 RRV to have a further 5 year extension?
Thank you in advance.

Hi. I have looked into the Home Affairs to see if I can help.
Can you clarify if the expiry of your RRV is really Feb 2025 or Feb 2022? Because as far as I know, RRV are valid for 5 years, but your residency count is from 2017. Was 2017 the year you applied? If your current RRV was approved in 2017, then I expect your expiry date to be 2022.

From the Home Affairs website, it states that the 5-year period is counted from the time you lodged your RRV, not from the time it was approved. Check if you have a record of your RRV application before, so your count will be based on the time you applied (not on the day you got the grant).
