Permanent residents warned to check their travel facility before leaving Australia

핵심 내용

• A travel facility lets permanent visa holders leave and re-enter Australia. It is usually valid for one or five years.
• Check VEVO before you travel, and make sure your passport is linked to your visa.
• If your travel facility expires before you return, apply early for a Resident Return visa (RRV). Fees apply and processing takes time.
• Airlines cannot board you without a valid travel facility or RRV.
• Returning on a visitor visa or ETA instead can affect citizenship eligibility, permanent residence status and entitlements such as Medicare.
