Resident Return Visa
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Resident Return visa label requirements
Australia does not require you to have a Resident Return visa label or stamp in your passport to remain in or enter Australia. However, if you are travelling through other countries, you may be required by those countries to have an Australian visa label or stamp in your passport.
If you intend travelling though any country which may require you to have an Australian visa label or stamp in your passport, we recommend that you get a visa label in your passport.
A visa label may be obtained by attending any office of the department with your current passport, or by sending in your passport by registered post to your nearest office.
Note: The first label of an Resident Return visa is free, however, a fee applies for an additional label.
Your visa is linked electronically to the passport details provided in your visa application. You can view your visa online using Visa Entitlement Verification Online (VEVO). VEVO is a free internet service available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. It allows you, and your employer or education provider, to view your visa details online.
