The Return Resident Visa or Resident Return Visas (RRV) is a visa that permanent residents in Australia can get after their "travel facility" has expired. What is travel facility?

Every permanent residence visa has a travel facility. Travel facility of permanent visas runs out after 5 years. While permanent visa holders can live in Australia indefinitely, they get a 5-year limit on their travel facility.

This means that you have a right to travel that expires after 5 years. After 5 years, you have to renew your right to travel. This is in the form of a return resident visa. If an Australian permanent resident is outside Australia and their travel facility has expired, they will need a return resident visa. People with temporary visa are not eligible for resident return visa.
