CRP82 Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 Hi All. I am looking for some advice please. I have PR and lived in Australia for around 14 months. I'm currently in the UK and intend to return to Australia long term before the end of the year. I have submitted an application for a 12 month RRV with evidence from my employer that we have significant business in Australia, so I'm fairly confident it will be granted. However, the process is taking a while and my cousin is getting married in Australia in a few weeks time. Does anyone know if I can apply for a visitor visa while I'm awaiting the RRV decision and attend the wedding? I will leave after that and return to Aus if/when the RRV is granted. Many thanks.

VERYSTORMY Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 Take a bit of professional advice as there can be an issue here. There is a general principle that you can only hold one visa at a time, so one visa cancels a previous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRP82 Posted June 28, 2019 Author Share Posted June 28, 2019 Thank you VERYSTORMY. Any suggestions on who might be a good organisation to contact for the advice? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulhand Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 You can do this - but as above, there is a risk that your applications ‘cross in the mail’. I suggest you contact the RRV team with evidence of your need to travel soon and see if that will expedite the RRV. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or need to go through the general immi hotline? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CRP82 Posted July 3, 2019 Author Share Posted July 3, 2019 UPDATE - I emailed the address Paul gave me and called the immi hotline (provided below). Two days later my RRV was granted! Thank you so much Paul and everyone for your help, https://immi.homeaffairs.gov.au/help-support/contact-us/telephone/outside-australia Chris 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
