Permanent resident return travel facility (subclasses 155/157)

Australian PR permits indefinite residence in Australia, but the travel facility on a permanent visa expires. A person who is not yet a citizen and wants to return from overseas as a PR after that facility expires will generally need a subclass 155 or 157 Resident Return visa. An RRV preserves travel rights; it does not grant a new PR status.
