Substantial Ties to Australia
Strengthening your RRV application by demonstrating your connection to Australia.
Overview
If you do not meet the two-year residency requirement for the Subclass 155 RRV, you may still be eligible if you can demonstrate substantial ties to Australia. I can help you build a strong case by identifying and documenting your business, cultural, employment, and personal ties to the country.
Substantial ties are a key component of a successful RRV application for those who have been away from Australia for an extended period. The Department of Home Affairs will consider the nature and extent of your ties, and how they are of benefit to Australia. I will work with you to present a comprehensive and compelling case that highlights your ongoing connection to the country.
Examples of substantial ties include owning a business in Australia, having close family members who are Australian citizens or permanent residents, being employed by an Australian company, or having significant personal assets in Australia. I will help you gather the evidence needed to demonstrate the strength of your ties and maximize your chances of a successful application.
