- What it is for
- This is the departmental application form for a Former Resident visa (Subclass 151), a permanent visa for people with past residence or ties to Australia. It allows an eligible former resident to migrate to, or gain permanent residence in, Australia.
- Who completes it
- The former-resident applicant lodges the form directly; where the application includes a child under 18 whose other parent is not migrating, additional consent documentation from those with legal custody rights is required.
- Information it collects (in general terms)
- General categories include the applicant's personal and identity details, residence and connection history relevant to former-resident eligibility, family unit and dependant information, child custody or consent documentation where relevant, the intended Australian residential address, supporting documents and charge details, and signed declarations including an Australian-values undertaking.
- When it is used
- Used when a person who previously resided in or has qualifying ties to Australia applies for the Subclass 151 Former Resident visa, whether from outside Australia (as migration) or within Australia (as permanent residence), and mailed as a paper application to the designated processing address.
