My Australian PR was approved in 2012 and I am left Australia in 2014. This PR no longer allows me to travel to Australia. I don't have any tie with Australia and I'm NOT seeking a Resident Return Visa. Instead I'm only trying to visit Australia for tourism.
My question is: may I apply for a visitor's visa now? Some countries (like Canada) do not allow an ex-PR to apply for a visitor's visa unless he/she explicitly renounces the PR. Canada has a form to do it. Is this also the case for Australia? I'm not planning a trip to Australia in the near future, but I do not wish to be stumbled later when I do need to travel and renouncing it takes a looooong time.
Thanks.
