Bit of a complex question.
My sister-in-law is a Malaysian Citizen. As her mother was Australian she had Australian citizenship as her mother applied for it when she was a baby. As Malaysia will not allow dual nationality she has had to renounce her Aussie citizenship as she is over 18. However, she wishes to live in Australia with PR. The legislation states that renunciation of citizenship means you can stay in Australia but leaving Australia will invalidate this unless you apply for a resident return visa (RRV) before you leave. She has been in Australia for 3 years as a student on a student visa but spent 4 months last year in Canada on student exchange. However, despite 2 visits to Dimia she was told that application for an RRV was not the thing to do prior to going to Canada. She is now back in Australia on the student visa until it runs out in March. But to get a job and stay permanently she needs the RRV. What justification should she use for this as it seems very complex? To make it worse 3 visits to Dimia have given her 4 different answers! Any help much appreciated.....
