- Granted Visa Question
  
  By rammygirl · Posted 1 hour ago
  
  It will be a year. My son had to get 2 RRVs before he could get citizenship. They are expensive too. Better to get citizenship when you can as cheaper in the long run.
- Granted Visa Question
  
  By Marisawright · Posted 2 hours ago
  
  That's true. It is possible, in that situation, that you'll only get a 1-year RRV which means having to apply again, with another fee, after a year. I didn't mention it because it sounded as though @bearnova64 is planning to move in the next few months, just that the visa grant came through a bit faster than expected. So she should easily meet the 2 years' residency.
- Granted Visa Question
  
  By rammygirl · Posted 2 hours ago
  
  Just to be clear you can get an RRV without having two years residency. It takes longer to grant as it is not automatic. You need to provide evidence of close ties to Australia. All the information is on the government website. My son had to do this and he simply sent proof of employment, rental and settled family here. It took a few weeks to grant. We are all now dual citizens.
