Australian Permanent Residency (PR) is valid indefinitely, which means you can generally remain in Australia until you die. However, to continue traveling to and from Australia after the initial 5 years of permanent residency, you'll need to apply for a Resident Return Visa (RRV). This visa requires you to have spent 730 days in Australia as a permanent resident within the last 5 years, and it allows you to return to Australia as a permanent resident.
