Australian Permanent Residency (PR) is generally granted for a permanent period. However, the validity of the travel component of the PR visa is limited.
- Permanent Residency Status: Once you receive Australian PR, you are considered a permanent resident, and this status does not expire.
- Travel Facility: The Travel Facility that comes with a PR visa typically lasts for 5 years. This allows you to travel in and out of Australia freely during that period. After 5 years, if you wish to leave and re-enter Australia, you'll need to apply for a Resident Return Visa (RRV).
To maintain your PR status, you don't need to renew your residency, but to keep your travel facility, you would need to apply for an RRV if your current travel rights expire.
