How to renew Australia PR?

Australia PR has a validity of 5 years. The Permanent Resident can apply for renewal of their PR visa through the Resident Return Visa pathway under Subclass 155 and Subclass157. The Resident Return Visa (RRV) provides the PR with the ability to travel in and out of the country when the PR visa is lapsed or terminated, thus allowing them to maintain the Permanent Residency status.
