Hi,
I have the Dependant Permanent Residency.

To apply for the Resident Return Visa, minimum 2 years stay at Aus is mandatory, however i have only spent 376 days at Australia.

My spouse(main applicant) spent this 2 years minimum stay though.

In the RRV eligilibilty section, its mentioned as
'if the applicant is able to demonstrate that they have substantial ties to australia such as family members', as an alternative to 2 year minimum stay criteria.

So is it possible for me to apply for RRV without meeting the 2 years minimum stay criteria by using my spouse ties with australia.

Thanks

Yes, it is possible with evidence to show that "you have substantial ties to Australia".

Hope this answer is helpful.
