Special Migration

Distinguished Talent

This type of visa is for individuals with an international reputation in a profession, sport, academia or the arts. The range of occupations is broader than the general skilled stream, but the level of skill and reputation must be very high.

Former Resident

The Former Resident Visa is a permanent visa designed for applicants who spent most of their time in Australia as a child as a permanent resident, or who have completed service in an Australian defence service.

5-Year Resident Return Visa

The travel facility on permanent Australian visas expires 5 years from the date of grant of the visa. If you wish to continue travelling to and from Australia after this time, you should apply for a Resident Return Visa (commonly referred to as an RRV).
