If the Australian immigrant's permanent resident visa is about to expire and the applicant is unable or unwilling to apply for naturalization, he/she needs to apply for a five-year permanent resident multiple-entry visa before leaving the country. In general, the following conditions shall be met:
If you have lived in Australia for two or more years in the past five years, you can get a five-year multiple-entry visa; or
If you have a strong and beneficial relationship with Australia and there are force majeure reasons to explain why you have not lived in Australia for more than five years (proof materials are required), you can get a five-year multiple-entry visa; or
You have lived in Australia for one day or more in the past five years, and there are force majeure reasons that show that you have not lived in Australia for more than five years (proof materials are required), then you can get a three-month multiple-entry visa extension; or
If you are a spouse, child or immediate family member who currently holds or will hold a multiple-entry visa for five years or three months, you are also eligible for a multiple-entry visa for residents (whether you apply at the same time with your family members or after them), and your visa will be valid at the same time as your family members' visas; in addition
When the extended multiple-entry visa for the above-mentioned five-year residents is about to expire in five years, they must apply for an extension visa according to the first, second or fourth circumstances, that is, they must live for two years or more every five years before they can be extended. Of course, applicants who meet the conditions of Article 2 or Article 4 can also extend their time;
If you leave the country without a valid multiple-entry visa, you may lose the qualification to return to Australia.
With an Australian permanent resident visa, you can enter and leave New Zealand and work or live there without a visa.
